Talk of the town from our social media

Trump Turnberry’s move to ban Irn Bru from their resort got some of our readers fizzing.

Jo Craig said: “What’s with these places and their carpets?! Is red wine also banned???”

Shaz McCormack added: “Deary me! They’re doing themselves no favours endearing us Scots!”

But Avril Tognarelli said: “Can’t stand the stuff anyway! Did I actually say that? I’m obviously not Scottish!”

South Ayrshire Council’s failed plans for a new office block in the town were met with relief by the vast majority.

Jaz Bee said: “Site will be mothballed now in spite.”

And John Slaven added: “Good..... however this site I suspect will lay derelict for years now.”

Jimmy Campbell joked: “Fantastic news. But most likely they will build a cycle lane instead.”

Paul Cairns said: “Has anyone ever suggested the Station Hotel as an alternative site?”

But Richard Devine said: “Realistically it would cost two or even three times as much money to restore the Station Hotel than build a new structure.”

A digital sign on Ayr’s Whitletts Road is set for shutdown after council bosses pledged to take enforcement action.

Kate Hewardine said: “Great news!!! Awful distraction when driving; at least in big cities you have lots of these so you get used to them, unlike us with just this nuisance.”

But Lewis Mcdowall said: “Folk moaning yet again nothing positive about Ayr.”

And Ian Smith said: “Get a life..!! It’s a sign that lights up..!! WHO CARES..!! So are they switching all the street lights off in the area as well..??”

Council bosses are mulling over a request to give Ayr United’s title winners a civic reception.

Scott Sturgeon said: “Fat chance the council just want to sit back and take all the glory that goes with Ayr United’s win and success but do nothing to help them like celebrating their amazing win.”

Jofus Lumsden said: “The council do all they can to put obstacles in the way of Ayr United so don’t hold your breath.”

Steven Mackie said: “It obviously doesn’t happen often so should be celebrated properly.”

But former councillor, Eddie Bulik, said: “The council gave the club a civic reception for the centenary, so I’m confident there will be recognition of some sort.”
