KILMARNOCK residents are being encouraged to share their views on a major development in the town centre.

East Ayrshire Council is looking for the public’s opinion at the Foregate Civic Space consultation on Tuesday, October 8.

Representatives from Ayrshire Roads Alliance and the Swedish engineering company Sweco will be in attendance.

The organisations are working in partnership with the council to transform the former car park into a functional civic space.

The aim of this project is to enhance the town centre’s image, attract investment, and attract tourists to the area.

Demolition on the multi-storey car park started back in September for health and safety reasons.

The meeting will take place at CentreStage in 'The Gathering' from 5pm until 7pm.
