Residents of Cumnock are being encouraged to express their views on the draft Conservation Area Appraisal report produced by East Ayrshire Council’s Planning and Economic Development Staff.

The report details what the conservation area is and makes recommendations for alterations to the conservation area boundary.

Councillor Douglas Reid, Leader of the Council, said: "Cumnock is clearly an area of architectural and historical importance worthy of preservation and improvement. The Council is reassessing the conservation area as part of the regeneration of Cumnock Town Centre.

"It's important for people to let us know what thoughts they have about the report while it’s at the draft stage so that we can take account of all residents' views.

"We are committed to involving communities in decision making about their local area. The report will inform decisions on the wider regeneration proposals for Cumnock."

Letters and comments forms have been sent to all residents in the conservation area so that they can make comments on the report.

Exhibitions will be displayed in Cumnock Town Hall, Visions Leisure Centre and the Cumnock Town Centre Regeneration Project Office in Glaisnock Shopping Centre between Monday 24th November and Sunday 30th November. Residents can discuss any issues they have with a member of staff on Tuesday 25th November at Visions Leisure Centre and Thursday 27th November at the Town Hall between 3pm and 8pm.
