SCORES of new council homes will be built thanks to a million pound cash injection.

South Ayrshire Council has been given £1.05 million from the Scottish Government.

The cash boost will be used to build 42 new council homes for rent.

Adam Ingram MSP has welcomed the news.

He said: “I want to congratulate South Ayrshire Council on their successful funding application to build new council homes.
