Talk of the town from our social media

We told that a smoking ban outside cafes could be ditched as councillors get set to vote on the issue.

Jimmy Millar said: “The ban is a joke.

“I stopped smoking years ago but do not have a problem with allowing others to light up.”

Patricia Workman said: “I do not smoke but I see nothing wrong with it.

“How about banning beggars from Ayr?”

Rosemary Mccrindle said: “Get real the only people who will lose out are the business people. “I’m an ex smoker by the way.” Michael Mcf said: “It’s outside “Let it be.”

The campaign to stop Loans being merged in with Troon is set to end in victory.

Rita Nicol said: “Jiggery pokery involving house developers, brown envelopes and slimey palms, within the council... well that’s a shock.

“Are they intending in turning it into another doonfoot?

“The Mick & Ma c k development is a uncontrollable monstrosity, it resembles some inner city council scheme.”

Chris Hendry said: “We have a housing shortage yet all folk can complain about is some house joining up two very close places?”

Prestwick Airport are targeting a direct flight to London as they bid to become a ‘ Logistical Hub’.

Isobel McEwan said: “Long overdue good news!

“Prestwick Airport should be used for more than just European holiday destinations ( although this is most welcomed!).

“It’s perfect as an international hub and commuters in south west Scotland have been waiting too long for a great connection south of the border.”

Susan Macdonald said: “Prestwick airport is a great airport to fly from it needs more companies to fly from this destination to give people more choice.

“Hope they become a hub.” Audra Black said: “When I was growing up always flew from Prestwick to Canada.”

Our Memory Lane featured a picture of Ayr Beach in 1960, which really peaked interest.

Margaret Mcilwraith Nyborg said: “This was really Memory Lane to me!

“Living in Scotland many a year ago I remember trips to the Beach in Ayr.

“We children had a great time in and out of the sea, while our mum and auntie sat fully dressed having a nice cup of tea!

“Lovely memories.”

The council are set to U- turn on Troon parking charges.

Donna Read said: “If charges come is this picture is as busy as it will get!”
