The group are looking for a metal storage container, either 20ft or 32ft to allow us to store all the equipment we have amassed. The equipment is currently scattered among the group members for safe keeping. SeaSalt Streets have identified a suitable site close to the town centre for the container and, should we succeed in securing one, will apply to North Ayrshire Council for the relevant permissions. The container must be water tight although the condition of the exterior is irrelevant,(we have successfully funded and erected 3 murals!!!) Although we don't have a timescale, the sooner we secure permanent storage, the more projects we can tackle.
