A big turnout is expected for the important Doon Valley by-election this Thursday (October 1).

Five candidates have been canvassing to secure votes in the countdown to the by-election following the tragic loss of East Ayrshire's only Independent Councillor, Jim Sutherland, In July.

Labour and SNP currently hold 14 seats each and win could be pivotal to the balance of power.

A win for labour could unsettle the minority SNP and Tory coalition. While a win for the latter would strengthen their hold.
