The council would like to hear from private landlords that want to help make a difference.

Councillor Philip Saxton, Housing and Community Wellbeing Portfolio Holder for South Ayrshire Council said: "This is an exciting new housing initiative which will bring about lasting change.

"First and foremost, we want to meet the needs of our tenants and ensure landlords are supported.

"We're determined to set the standard for quality, value for money and professionally managed property and give everyone a home they can be proud of."
