Construction of the Stage 2 works at the Ailsa Family Learning Centre, will take place in early 2021. Detailed plans are continuing to be developed for Stage 3 at the junction of Ladywell Road and Stage 4 at the junction with Hamilton Road. The package of measures will address community road safety concerns along the length of The Loaning.
