New £5.4m sporting facilities have been announced for North Ayrshire.

This comes as the first phase of the Quarry Road, Irvine, development nears completion.

The first phase, which will be completed this month, includes 10,000 sq ft of offices and flexible working space for small businesses.

The next phase will include building a full size 3G outdoor pitch for football and rugby, a nine-a-side 3G indoor pitch, and a 750m cycle track which will include a 250m internal loop.

The proposed three outdoor hard surface tennis courts will remain within the masterplan, but their deliver will depend on the sale of the existing courts at Thornhouse Avenue and a funding contribution from Tennis Scotland.

If planning permission is granted, work would start on-site in September.

Councillor Alex Gallagher said: "We're delighted the first phase is nearing completion and discussions for phase two are under way.

"The project would represent excellent sporting outcomes, offering young people the opportunity into sport."
