WORK is underway on the final stage of a Flood Prevention Scheme causing road disruption in New Cumnock.

Transerv notified the Ayrshire Roads Alliance that the A76 would require a full closure on Monday 25 and Tuesday March 26 from 6pm to 6am both days.

But the closure would have had a serious effect on the community of New Cumnock and stopped access to the village from the North and the West.

Following discussions with Transerv, the Alliance has agreed to open the B741 under traffic lights on both days from 6pm to 6am.
