Flats To Be Built, Next Door To Holmston

As reported in previous issues, Aldi's application to build a supermarket next door to the school was turned down, after a major campaign by parents and local residents. Over 200 individual objections were collected by the PTA. A three-day public enquiry by the Scottish Executive upheld and extended South Ayrshire Council's earlier grounds for rejecting the application.

The school was ably supported at the enquiry by Tommy Fitzsimmons, former School Board chairperson, using our "Friends of Holmston" by-line.

A planning application has now been made to build flats on the site, by the builders who recently built on the site of the old Ayr County Hospital across the road from the school.

The new flats will be three to four floors in height. There are plans on show in the school entrance corridor, they look quite nice.
