Talk of the town from our social media
Scottish Water were blasted for pathetic communication over radical change.
Lorri Lou- don said: “What Scottish Water don’t point out are the adverse effects on you and your children.
“Dr M Plewa ( USA) after much research reported ‘ that disinfection byproduct created by chloramines are MUCH MORE TOXIC than those from chlorines’.
“Known health risks from chloramines include ( it’s a long list) skin problems, itchy burning & swolen eyes, yeast infection, stomach aches, kidney problems and more.
“If you live in older properties with lead piping there is an increased risk of lead poisoning. There is also anecdotal evidence of increased leukaemia in children and MND in areas where Scottish Water have already added chloramines to drinking water.
“If it’s safe ask yourself why is it banned in Canada, France and Germany.”
Christine Steel said: “The DWQR replied to my email saying that there is now also phosphates added to combat the lead leakage.
“It’s an absolute disgrace.
“So goodness knows what else is in it along with the chloramine.”
Prime Minister Theresa May visited Ayr and spoke about the Ayrshire Growth Deal.
Bruce Thomson said: “What does ‘ OPENING talks over a NEW growth deal’ mean?
“Talks are already underway on existing growth deal proposal, is that dead a new one required?”
Alan Deans said: “Quote of the day about the PM’s visit to ayrshire today has to go to my friends at East Ayrshire.
“Theresa May in Ayr, Elvis spent more time in Ayrshire whilst his plane refuelled at Prestwick”.
The Ayr Station Hotel received an exceptional dangerous building notice.
Tracey Mcghee said: “While the fears for saftey they should never mind spending the money on repairing it just pull it down and bulid some nice flats as there are such a housing shortage.”
Sylvia Collie said: “Why should the council pay for this.
“If a building lies untouched for this length of time the council should be able to take it.
“These are the reason our council tax is rising.”
Adelina Slavin said: “Surely there must be a law to enable to council to take over the property!
“Not only is it a dangerous building to the public but it is an embarrassment to Ayr.
“It could be restored for the council offices instead of the proposed new office block at Riverside which should be developed to attract tourism for the town.”
