News & Updates

North Ayrshire Council want you to have your say about which physical regeneration projects are priorities within your local area.

Your views will help to inform the development of a Regeneration Delivery Plan which sets out the actions for regeneration activity over the next five years (2021 to 2026).

The North Ayrshire economy has enormous potential and the Regeneration Delivery Plan is about helping to deliver on that. There is an ambition to accelerate and support economic activity, helping support both the short-term recovery from the adverse impacts of Covid-19, and in the longer-term, improvements to the appeal of our towns and places.

Comments are welcomed in relation to both the area as a whole, and your local town.

The Plan will be approved by the Council’s Cabinet in late 2020 and it will set out priorities and the allocation of regeneration funding for future projects.
