THE new development will see seven shops open on Townhead Street along with five units up for rent on Glaisnock Street.

Farmfoods has already opened in Cumnock as part of the multi-million pound regeneration project.

The new frozen food store will be just one of many retail units moving into the centre of the town.

It comes as part of a major revamp which has already restored many of the town’s iconic historical buildings.

Now the 500 square metre scheme is looking for more tenants to rent out spaces and help rejuvenate Cumnock’s shopping area.

It plans on offering a great new opportunity for businesses to lease brand new multi–purpose units with nearby free parking.

The units could be used for a variety of purposes, from traditional retail to leisure, food, office or service based businesses.

Councillor Jim Roberts said: “It’s great to see this major piece in the jigsaw of Cumnock’s town centre regeneration fall into place.

“The new shops and the surrounding landscape are a beautiful addition to the town, providing space and opportunity for people to enjoy and businesses to thrive.

“Using sympathetic architecture , the buiding enhances the look of the street, complimenting the many beautiful historic buildings in the centre, many of which have been restored thanks to Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme funding from East Ayrshire Council and Historic Environment Scotland.

“We are doing whatever we can to support local businesses, enhance the environment and make shopping, working and living in Cumnock an exceptionally attractive option.”

The units are being leased out on behalf of East Ayrshire Council by Eric Young & Co.

Viewings are available by appointment.
