If campaigners get their way, then haulage firms may be forced to re-think their daily routes through Girvan.
A campaign group has been formed in a bid to BAN trucks and HGVs from thundering through Girvan ’s Dalrymple Street, Ayrshire Live can exclusively reveal.
In an appeal to local residents The Dalrymple Street Project said: “Our aim is to reclaim Dalrymple Street from the HGVs, their noise, their exhaust fumes, their destructive impact on the buildings from their hugely increased weight and numbers as they thunder through Girvan, making Dalrymple Street a place that feels unwelcoming and unsafe to many.
And the group has already secured some backing. Tourist information resource, Go Girvan, said they are “proud” to support the project. And the appeal is also gaining traction on social media.
