Ailsa Craig Centre Project – Your Opinion Matters!

Following on from positive discussions with the community last year, Go Girvan have taken the feedback on board and looked into having an Ailsa Craig Centre in Girvan.  They have created a document which details the background of the Ailsa Craig Centre project.  It also outlines the proposed features, locations and design considerations.  Go Girvan are keen for this to be a community-led project and therefore need your input.  Click on link above to access the feedback form and for further information.  Paper copies of the form can be picked up from the Tourist Information Point.
