Former Ayr Station Hotel - Update

This is an archived article from 3 October 2023. 

Yesterday, during routine checks, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) discovered a small fire within the former Station Hotel building. This has now been extinguished.  SFRS will revisit the site to assess the area.

Safety works are continuing on the clock tower. 

Our colleagues at Ayrshire Roads Alliance are working with the appointed contractor, CPMS, to install an additional temporary  pedestrian crossing on Station Bridge Road (at the eastern end, adjacent to the Market Inn).  This will improve pedestrian access to the temporary replacement bus service.

Our priority is to work with partners to carry out the necessary safety works to allow the bridge and train line to re-open as quickly as possible.

We'll continue to keep you informed as more information becomes available.
