Council services across South Ayrshire will be disrupted due to a national day of industrial action on Wednesday 30 November.
The action is in response to proposed changes to public sector pensions.
As a result, many Council services – such as bin collections – and facilities like schools, libraries and Council tax offices may be unavailable or provide a significantly reduced service on this date.
The Council is currently working with the trade unions to agree exemptions for those employees who provide essential services to vulnerable members of the community.
David Anderson, Chief Executive of South Ayrshire Council, said: "While we will do all we can to maintain some level of business continuity on 30 November, there is no doubt this day of industrial action is likely to have a significant impact on our services.
"We're currently assessing the likely levels of disruption across individual services; however, I would encourage people to think about any alternative arrangements they may have to make as a result of the action – particularly parents and carers who will need to have suitable childcare available if their child's school is closed.
"Specific details on expected closures and service levels will be updated on our website and through our customer contact centre when available, and schools are in contact with parents and carers directly.
"I can also reassure our residents that we are working with the trade unions to reach a position where employees who provide essential services to the most vulnerable people in our communities may be exempt from taking part in the strike action.
"It's disappointing that we are in this situation, which is outwith our control. We apologise for any inconvenience this action may cause and thank you, in advance, for your understanding and co-operation."
As details become available, information on the expected impact of the industrial action on specific Council services will be available from the customer contact centre on 0300 123 0900.
