Public notices and closures

TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF CORE PATH SA29: ALLOWAY TO DUNURE ROAD CYCLE ROUTE (CORANBAE PLACE TO DUNURE ROAD SECTON)

The Council gives notice it intends closing temporarily, to the public, that section of Core Path SA29: Alloway to Dunure Road cycle route described in Part 1 of the Schedule below. Temporary closure of the Path is necessary to permit the relocation of Scottish Water mains, to facilitate the construction, by the Ayrshire Roads Alliance, of a cycle underpass under the A719 on Dunure Road, in accordance with planning permission granted.

The affected section of the Path will be closed at certain times of the works, which commenced on 24 May 2021 and will be on going, during which time the diversion route should be used. On completion of the works, the Path will be fully re-opened to the public.

Persons wishing to access Dunure Road or National Cycle Route 7, to the west of the closed section of SA29, or the section of SA29 to the east of the closed section, during the period of the works should follow the signposted diversion route described in Part 2 of the Schedule below.

For their own safety and the safety of the contractor undertaking the works, members of the public should not attempt to access the closed section of the Path during the specified period.
The plan below shows the section of the Core Path to be closed temporarily, together with the signposted diversion route.

Footbridge Closure - Waukmill, near Woodend, Dailly

Due to the damage caused by heavy rainfall and spate conditions in the River, the bridge over the Water of Girvan at Waukmill, near Woodend, 2km north-east of Dailly, is in a dangerous condition and unavailable for public use, for the foreseeable future. For their own safety, members of the public should not attempt to cross the bridge.

King Coil's Bridge Closed - Parkmill Road, Tarbolton

For the foreseeable future, Core Path SA23, between Parkmill Road and Core Path SA24 at Coilsfield Mains Farm, is not usable as a through route, because the private bridge, known as King Coil's Bridge or the Loundsdale Bridge, 40 metres to the south-east of the C115 Parkmill Road, which carries the route over the Water of Fail, is in a dangerous condition. For their own safety, members of the public should not attempt to cross the bridge. An alternative route from Parkmill Road to Coilsfield Mains exists along SA24, to the west.

Lady Hunter Blair Trail Closed

PLEASE DO NOT USE.

The landowner has been ordered by Forestry and Land Scotland to remove Larch trees from the Lambdougty Glen, to reduce the spread of the tree disease. Therefore the Lady Hunter Blair Trail through Lambdoughty Glen, is temporarily closed to the public. This is to allow mandatory and essential forestry works to be undertaken safely. Access takers should not attempt to use the trail, in the interests of their own, and the forest operatives', safety.

The Trail will remain closed for the duration of the forestry works. These works were expected to be completed by the end of 2021.

Unfortunately, due to circumstance out-with the control of the landowner/ manager the works have been delayed.

It is hoped that the works will be completed and the Trail reopened in Autumn 2022 .

Thank you for your co-operation.
