Common Good Fund
Ayr has a Common Good Fund has a significant balance but the Balance Sheet consolidates the accounts of Ayr, Troon, Prestwick and Girvan and hence it is not possible to determine the precise balance of the Ayr Common Good Fund though it has a revenue balance of £320,000.
Commentary
Ayr has an extensive portfolio of Common Good assets and its Common Good Fund is the second most valuable in Scotland following Aberdeen. However, a number of controversies have broken out over the administration and management of the Fund. Most recently, there was a public campaign against the sale of part of the Old Racecourse to construct a new Ayr Grammar Primary School.
Gibson T Macdonald, a former local councillor (who sadly died on 27 October 2007) campaigned on the topic for a number of years. Here is a copy of the common good section of his website (10 March 2006) which provides a more detailed list of assets than that provided above.
