Update on roadworks
The roadworks at The Croft
Should be completed by Friday 22nd May, according to the Ayrshire Roads Alliance.
Progress at The Croft, Friday 15th May I called them today (Friday 15th), and was assured that the work should be completed by next Friday.
However…
This is the first time ARA have used Stepford contractors, and they’ve had to chase them up several times.
Reading between the lines, I think that means don’t hold your breath…
I just hope for the sake of the suspension on all of our vehicles that they do complete on time.
We can’t wait for the south road to be resurfaced – at least we can thank the Community Council and South Ayrshire for the work on that being set in motion!

Lighting faults
If you want to report a lighting fault, it’s quite easy.
Log onto the Ayrshire Roads Alliance website and type the name of the street with the faulty light into the search box.
That will bring up a map with of streetlights like this:
You can zoom in to the streetlight which isn’t working and click on it:
ARA reporting pop-up Then you have the option to report the fault directly by clicking on the blue text.
Or, if you prefer, you can report a ‘batch’ of lights by email using the numbers on the pop-ups. You can contact Ayrshire Roads Alliance by phone on 01563 503160 or email enquiries@ayrshireroadsalliance.org.
ARA have gone to some lengths to make it easy to report faults: we should help them out in their efforts to provide good public service.

Roadworks until April
Castle Road roadworks
For the next 30 working days Ayrshire Roads Alliance will be working on the construction of 60m of gabion walling to support the pavement and road next to The Croft.
The link to the notification from the Scottish Road Works Commissioner is here (you will need to type in the road name and village).
Gabion walling is basically a metal cage containing stones – there’s an excellent description here.
It looks like early April before the work is completed.
In the meantime, extra vigilance is required from motorists!
