Show Notes
North Ayrshire Councils plan to close the String Road on Arran Island for bridge repairs, starting April 20th, 2026, has sparked controversy. The closure, initially scheduled for the Easter holidays, has been moved to two days before the school exam season, causing concern among locals. The road is the only east-west link on the island, and the work will require full day-and-night closures. Critics argue that the council prioritizes tourists over students, potentially impacting exams in various subjects. The council maintains that they are minimizing disruption, but the situation raises questions about the impact on pupils and the preparedness of the repairs.
