Drivers are being reminded that sections of two of Cumnock's busiest roads are set to be closed off next week for BT works to be carried out.

The roads are due to be shut for two days, with diversions around the town set to be put in place.

The affected roads are set to be closed from 8am on Monday, May 20 until 5pm on Wednesday, May 22.

According to the Ayrshire Roads Alliance website, a section of Glaisnock Street will be closed off to northbound traffic from its junction with Hall Terrace to its junction with Ayr Road.

Southbound traffic is not set to be affected, meaning drivers should still be able to travel along Glaisnock Street towards Netherthird.
