Accessible Ayr

Accessible Ayr is an ambitious project by South Ayrshire Council, Ayrshire Roads Alliance and Sustrans.  The plan is to significantly invest in the town centre, making it a vibrant and more attractive place for people to visit and enjoy, as well as make it easier to access by pedestrians and cyclists.  The streets included in the project are highlighted on the plan below.

The Accessible Ayr project aims to make the town centre a more vibrant place by creating spaces and places by upgrading the key town centre streets of High Street, Sandgate, Kyle Street, Alloway Street and Newmarket Street, Fort Street, Carrick St, John St, Station Rd, Smith St, Burns Statue Square, River St, Barns Crescent, Wellington Sq., Pavilion Road and Miller Rd.
