Council’s Bold Property Moves | Glasgow News

East Ayrshire Council just splashed out £410,000 to secure a historic archive building on Holmquarry Road, locking in its future and cutting long-term rent costs — part of a bold property strategy. Meanwhile, they snagged a fire-ravaged Darvel factory for just £1, clearing the way for demolition and potential community redevelopment. On the flip side, they cashed in on underused assets: Galston Primary School sold for £102k, Galston Library for £14k, and a Cumnock property for £7.5k — all funds reinvested into services or housing. All moves are set for scrutiny by the Governance Committee on August 20th as the council reshapes its real estate portfolio with smart buys, strategic sales, and community-focused outcomes.
