Just before the summer, Ayr United F.C. was able to complete some safety upgrades at Somerset Park by replacing the trackside spectator wall following an award from The Scottish Football Partnership. Building Control had deemed that the trackside barrier was no longer safe and should be replaced with a more solid structure. Demolition work began almost immediately and the full works were complete within weeks. Lewis Grant, Director at the club said: “A huge thank you to The Scottish Football Partnership who, along with the Ayr United Lottery, supported the club in the building of a replacement trackside wall round the ground. With financial help from both of these organisations, the club was able to replace the existing wall which was no longer fit for purpose. Ashleigh Construction, who have supported the club for a number of years, very ably completed the job in the two weeks allocated for the project.”
