ASTRO
The popular Astroturf in the Garrison which is in a state of disrepair will be closed on Friday 15 and Saturday 16 June for work to restore it.
This is thanks to local teenagers and the 'News' for highlighting the problem on this much used sports facility.
Jordan Currie, 16, contacted his gran, Millport correspondent Mary Currie asking for her help when the facility was not fit for purpose.
The teenager then wrote a letter to Cumbrae Community Council, and Kendra Lynch, 17, got nearly 80 signatures on it.
The 'News' brought it to the attention of North Ayrshire Council and this progress is now being made.
Well done to Jordan, Kendra, and the other kids, and thank you to Largs and Millport Weekly News for all input.
