Wind of change as Ayrshire village plans regeneration
WIND farm cash and community spirit are transforming one of Ayrshire’s most remote villages. A Barrhill Community Action Plan is being launched tonight, Thursday, aiming to regenerate the area. Barrhill was once an important livestock centre and also boasted a mohair mill. Now, after decades of struggle the village looks set to forge a new identity for the 21st century. The plan, written by villagers themselves, is launched in the Memorial Hall at 7pm. It comes after a programme of work and research, led by Barrhill Development Association. The plan will harness village spirit to build a sustainable and resourceful community.
It examines strategic themes, and how these can be developed to face future challenges.
