Largs Community Council chairman Douglas Blair is hoping that the council can work with more organisations and groups for the betterment of the town.
Douglas was speaking during a recent meeting at Largs Library in relation to developing closer links between the community council and the Largs BID - business improvement district group.
Douglas said: "From a personal point of view, I am happy to work with other groups and organisations, and maybe there are some common benefits we can work on.
"BID represent the business community, and as a community council, there are areas we can work together on, such as reducing litter in the town from takeaways for instance."
Douglas pointed out that the community council carried out beach litter clean-ups during the summer months, and said: "We have been working in isolation to an extent, and if we can work together on common themes which benefit the town, such as aiming for less litter, then that is a good thing in my personal view. It is more how we can work together to help the town overall, and the residents."
Councillor Tom Marshall said he attended the recent BID meeting where it was discussed that the chairman of the community council could attend board meetings, as happens on the Arran Economic Forum. 
Community councillor Drew Cochrane said: "I have an idea of what BID working working for, and if the community council was to be formally invited, it would be important to look at what its aims, objectives and achievements are.
"As a former newspaper editor, I know that over the decades, Largs has been bedevilled with groups purporting to be acting in the best interest of the town, but there is always been a conflict with all sorts of ill rumours abound about what one group was doing, and what another was doing. We don't need another Brexit in Largs."
"Some people in the town talk badly of the BID - I listen to them, and I don't know whether they are accurate in what they say; it would be good to look at it dispassionately."
Community councillor Elisabethe Marshall said she believed it was important to 'work together' for the benefit of the town.
The Largs BID is the levy paying group of local businesses who have helped bring local events to the town including Largs Live, food festival, and classic car rally.
As part of their ‘Clean and Safe Campaign’ for the town, Explore Largs - Largs BID's brand - created an educational awareness leaflet aimed at all aspects of hygiene; from putting rubbish in bins and clearing away dog faeces to refraining from feeding the gulls.
During the past two summers, leaflets have been distributed to key outlets and shops in Largs by the Explore Largs Street staff, who engage with businesses to encourage 'responsible tourism'.
Largs businesses voted to accept the BID in 2012, and later this year, businesses will vote again on extending the BID which has helped access funding to provide tv commercials and digital advertising promoting the tourism benefits of the town.
