The Conservatives’ promise to save Ayr’s High Flats could be scuppered after the discovery of asbestos.
Pre-demolition work has begun on the first of the three blocks at Riverside Place, with an asbestos survey completed last week.
The results are yet to be reported by South Ayrshire Council, but Housing Portfolio holder Councillor Martin Kilbride confirmed that surveyors have discovered asbestos in the first block of the flats.
