South Ayrshire Council leader Peter Henderson has hit back at claims the local authority is putting their £45m leisure centre project ahead of other crucial services.
The council leader was responding to criticism from South Scotland Conservative MSP, Sharon Dowey, who reckons the local authority has got its priorities wrong.
Ms Dowey pointed to a report showing decreasing satisfaction of South Ayrshire residents with refuse collection and street cleaning over the past 10 years.
