STOP this lease and Possible Ground Sell-Off (Pavillion/Pirate Petes/Playground - Low Green, Ayr.
The Main Ayr Facebook Page (Growing up in Lochside, Dalmilling, Whitletts and Remembering Auld Ayr) would like to draw your attention to this NOTICE detailed herein.
The notice details the fact that South Ayrshire Council would like to alienate an area to the Seaward Facing side of the Pavillion, now known as Pirate Petes at Pavillion Road, Ayr Seafront, these actual plans are not even outlined or made clear in the Notice, therefore these changes could be potentially used for any form of Business. All the Notice states is that the Council would like to lease 148 square metres of the Play area to the west of Pirate Petes/Ayr Pavillion with an option to buy!!! We believe the Purpose or Intended Use of this land should have been included in the Notice/Proposal.
The area is intended to be leased with a possibility of being able to then purchase this land.
Our fears are that if this is the case, that further pieces of the Low Green and surrounding areas will be sold off for further Commercial Gain, which could in effect, deprive people of Ayr and its Visitors of its assetts. This entire area was gifted to the people of Ayr and is known as "Common Good Land". The whole situation is totally unfair and seems very corrupt. Its a fact that this Proposal has not been made very Prominent, therefore resulting in any Interested parties not being made fully aware of these plans or intentions.
Please stop these plans from going ahead by signing our Petition below, or you can also write to - Audrey Greenwood, Assets Co Ordinator, Burns House, Ayr, KA8 8BH, detailing your concerns and objections.

I strong sign this petition against the sale of part of the playpark on the corner of Ayr Seafront and Pavillion Road, this belongs to the people of Ayr. It was gifted by William the Lionheart. I welcome attractions and Events on the Low Green but none of it can be sold for this Councils financial Gain.
This is an out rage this council are very greedy, they are wasting this town and its tourist idustry, there is no where else in Ayr for kids to play safely, and we don't seem to see anybenifits from the sale of the land. also this land belongs to the people of Ayr and I as 1 of the land owner do not give permission for the sale.
Disgraceful, leave the Low Green as it is, don't sell any of it. More Events need to be promoted down there, ie Fairgrounds, Circus, Airshow, the Burns Festival etc. Get rents off these Events but don't sell our Towns Assetts.
Have lived in Ayr all of my 72ykears and am fed up with these councils doing things without full cosultations with the people. They have made a right mess of our town.
Stop trying to turn Ayr into a retirement town full of charity shops and nursing homes. The beach and the history is practically all we have left and amazingly people still want to visit, they won't if there are no decent facilities or attractions. Add to it appropriately, with local participation and stop eroding our legacy!
Stop this action this land belongs to the people of ayr and ayrshire
Is Ayrshire South Council still determined to push ahead with changes that are contrary to the wishes of the people? Stop destroying AYR

Please do not allow any more commercial development on Ayr seafront. Halt the building of blocks of flats and developments which spoil our great natural asset. Keep the public open space for future generations to enjoy. Consider the attraction to tourists visiting our beautiful coastline and don't develop for someone else's financial gain.
