Written by Nuala Kelly-Towie ( S3 )
On the 28th November a small group of pupils had a meeting with a South Ayrshire Councilor , where they got the chance to have a chat to him about things they want improved in the town , what they liked about the town and what plans the council have for the town already . The students were from all year groups and the meeting was organized by Mr Lindsey and Miss McClymont .
