North Ayrshire Council is to hold a number of consultation events in relation to a proposed scheme to tackle flooding in the Upper Garnock Valley area.

The events, which will take place later this month, will allow the local community to view plans for the £14.5m investment along the River Garnock. People will also be able to provide feedback on the designs.
