East Ayrshire and South Ayrshire Councils have agreed to an innovative and sector-leading partnership to deliver a shared roads service within Ayrshire with effect from 1 April 2014, This is the first of its kind in Scotland. The Ayrshire Roads Alliance will be governed by a Joint Committee of Elected Members from the two Councils, with the service being led by East Ayrshire Council, to deliver roads services throughout East and South Ayrshire - from Galston to Girvan; Maidens to Muirkirk; and Ballantrae to Bellfield. The work includes roads maintenance; winter maintenance; street lighting; car parking; roads design and infrastructure; traffic and transportation and road safety. The new shared service will ensure continued service standards in an environment of reducing public sector budgets
