    Everybody knows that this wouldnt have happened if (the village) wasnt providing methadone for addicts who live OUTSIDE the area of Mauchline. They come from Catrine, Auchenleck and the surrounding area.

    Mauchline should not have this burden when it should be placed in a more centalised appropriate area. Like Cumnock

    There is no way the health board can justify on social or moral grounds having a methadone clinic in Mauchline. Its not needed and a waste of public money.
