- With Ayr Station Hotel becoming increasingly unsafe, the council have created an exclusion zone around the building to prevent injury from falling masonry. Unfortunately, this encompasses platforms 3 and 4 beyond the footbridge, meaning that no trains can get beyond Ayr, and trains to Ayr are running as shorter formations. It also means that the concourse, including the ticket office, coffee stand and newsagent, is closed. Unfortunately, this could mean the end for the historic building, as the owner refuses to take responsibility for the necessary repairs, leaving the council no option but to demolish the hotel.
the owner submitted several planning applications but all were rejected...the council needs to share responsibility for this disaster
What happened
It's quite a long story. The hotel owner skipped the country, and with no maintenance being carried out to the building, bits started falling off, posing a risk to people on the station. Neither Network Rail nor the council have the powers or budget to fix the hotel, so they just put this big tent over it and moved the ticket office to a portakabin.
SAC. are more than responsable must have known this situation was coming we now have a prominent town that does not have access to the biggest industrial town in Scotland by direct rail, I constinently travel between glasgow and the south and west of England for more years than. I care to remember and there is no doubt in my mind the sac is not geared for business, overthe course of anumber of years the travelling time by public transport for example from prestwick to ayr is ahockung which is 2.5 m and im including camden town to kings cross which believe it or not is easier , after 6/7 pm at night returning from ayr to said prestwick an utter joke, this council have already made me make drivers redundant because of parking and stopping times for my drivers is there nobody in this council that actually works for the improvemwnt of ayr , a massive SHED were woolworhs once was and. They actually think it's a good job, a great town ruined by council workers and incidentally have a look at their salaries it's like Fawlty towers in reality.
Don't even get me started on South Ayrshire Council. The way Ayr town centre has been allowed to degrade over the last couple of decades is shocking. And they allowed that Ayr Central development which sucked all the retail trade out of the Kyle Centre and the high street. I could go on for pages.
