MP Calls for Citizens Advice Bureau to be set up in South Ayrshire

Sandra Osborne MP has today arranged a meeting with the Chief Executive and Leader and Deputy Leader of South Ayrshire Council to push for a Citizens Advice Bureau to be set up in South Ayrshire.

Sandra said:

‘South Ayrshire is one of only two local authority areas in Scotland that does not have a Citizens Advice Bureau. While I recognise the good work being done by North Ayr Resource Centre (NARC), I believe that the residents of South Ayrshire are being let down by the lack of a CAB.

‘I have called various meetings over the past few months with Council officials, NARC and Citizens Advice Scotland with a view to ensuring that this matter is progressed.

‘In the current climate of benefit cuts and increasing poverty, I would like to see this matter progressed as a priority. I have therefore arranged to meet with the Chief Executive and Leader and Deputy Leader of the Council over the next couple of weeks to push for this matter to be taken forward.’
