Preparatory work has been taking place to the section of the sea wall near Aubery Crescent, Largs, ahead of planned improvements to the structure.

Following on from the investigatory works undertaken earlier this summer, North Ayrshire Council appointed a contractor for the next phase of the programme,

This involved removing the wall’s sprayed concrete facing to allow a detailed inspection of the underlying original wall.

The work is being carried out to inform a wider programme of improvements and repairs, which are expected to begin in 2019.

Members of the public were advised to keep clear of the site for the duration of the preparatory work.
