Crosshill Community
Action Plan
2014 - 2019
Welcome to Crosshill’s FIRST Community Action Plan
This Community Action Plan lays out the community’s priorities for the development
of Crosshill over the next 5 years. These priorities have been established through
a process of local community engagement and consultation carried out between
April 2013 and October 2013.
Crosshill Community Action Plan 2014 to 2020
This Community Action Plan is for people who live or work in Crosshill and who want to
plan for its future. The contents provide the results, conclusions and recommendations
from the survey which took place in Crosshill during the summer of 2013. The Action
Plan is a statement about the type of place the community wants Crosshill to be,
and what needs to be done.
The Action Plan provides:
An outline of our community profile
A summary of our community‘s views
A vision for the future; where the issues that matter most are priorities for action to be
taken
The Action Plan will be our guide for what we as a community want to try to make hap-
pen over the next five years, laying the foundations for change over the longer term.

positive manner.
The consultation work has used a variety of methods; including the use of householder sur-
veys to find out the opinions of local people about a range of topics. This process has fed into
the action plan to clearly identify the needs the community has and its future aspirations and
what it sees as being in need of change or improvement.
The result of this work is an Action Plan with a list of recommendations for the future of the
area. This plan is shaped by our community’s comments, aspirations and the wants and
needs identified through much of the consultation work over the past 2 years. It will build on
all the good things that people like about Crosshill.
This project has been part-financed by the Scottish Government and by the European Com-
munity Ayrshire LEADER 2007-2013 Programme, and has been supported by volunteer work
within the community.
Representatives from our Community have guided the consultation process and the develop-
ment of this final report and action plan. Without the help and support of members of the com-
munity in responding to the consultation process, this report and action plan would not have
been possible.

Crosshill History
Crosshill is located 3 miles (5km) south east of Maybole in South Ayrshire. The area was first
settled by Irish immigrants in the late 1800’s. Most came to Ayrshire as hand-loom weavers. They
constructed many single-storey cottages, a few of which can still be found on Dalhowan Street.
Crosshill has a population of approximately 480 people which has reduced by about 1% over the
past 10 years.
In the 1940’s, Crosshill could boast the oldest ‘telegram boy’ in Bob Reid who into his late seven-
ties would still deliver telegrams by bicycle locally and to outlying farms and cottages.
The primary school, originally located where the community centre now is, was rebuilt in Carrick
Drive in 1977. The nursery (opened in 2000) is run from the old site.
The church was built in 1838 as a chapel to accommodate
the population of what was a new village for the immigrant
weavers. Renovated in the 1970’s, it is now a multi-purpose
building of worship for the community.
Village Activities
When asked about activities for young people over 50%
commented that there needed to be more things to do, from
play park equipment to clubs and activities.
Some people particularly commented that there were not
many activities or facilities for the older teenager (from 13 to
16 years).

Community Empowerment Bill—what it means to Communities
The Scottish Government believes that its people are its greatest asset, and best placed to make decisions
about their future. The proposed Community Empowerment (Scotland) Bill aims to make the most of the talents
that exist in our communities; deliver high quality and improving public services; and support strong local de-
mocracy and local decision-making. It will be community organisations and volunteers, working to deliver first
class public services or innovating in the private sector, who will deliver a more successful future for Scotland.
It is likely that this bill will include:
New opportunities for communities to become owners of land and buildings from the public sector, along
with new legislation pertaining to the rural community right to buy
New and greater opportunities for communities to be more involved in shaping and delivering better out-
comes locally

Consultation and Information gathering in Crosshill
47 local residents were asked their opinions on a range of questions concerning their community. These
residents were asked through local consultation at events and through on-street surveys and small focus
groups.
Comments and answers are noted below:
50% of respondents commented that there is enough housing to meet demand in Crosshill. Howev-
er, some people commented that the mix of houses was not right and that there should be more af-
fordable rented housing available and particularly for young people who have grown up locally and
want to stay in the village.
Most people (over 80%) felt that Crosshill residents have pride in their community but there are a lot
of areas locally that need work to improve the area more.
Of the people that had negative comments, some of these centred around the state of the roads and
pavements.
Litter and dog fouling were also mentioned, with a need to provide more bins and collections.
Although there are signs restricting where dogs are allowed, there is no enforcement and therefore
people do not respect this.
There were concerns over the burn at Milton Street and the flood risk that this imposes.
Other residents felt that the bus shelters should provide more shelter and afford comfort to waiting
passengers.
The community centre was of concern as the area behind is dangerous to children and some felt
that it was not kept in a clean and tidy condition. There were also comments on overgrown areas
around the church and football club area.
Similarly, some residents commented that the Portacabin for the Football Club is now in a state of
disrepair and also the old and derelict church building is considered unsafe.
Some people commented on the bus service and were mainly positive about its hourly service, with
friendly drivers and reliable service.
Comments surrounding local services were again generally positive (80%). Local people
commented on the provision of a prescription service to the village from Maybole as well as good
mobile library and banking services.
A number of people expressed their concern about losing the local shop and post office. Some also
commented that the shop could also open up a Tea Room which would be popular with locals and
visitors alike.
It was generally felt that visitors to Crosshill came because of scenery, walking or cycling, or visiting
family members, but there also needs to be more facilities for visitors such as public toilets and a tea
room, to encourage more people to stop and spend time / money within the community.
There was also comment that people did not know what their
community council did or who their councillors were.

Tourism and Crosshill Carrick Community Councils’ Forum’s unique, community led Tourism project has worked with over 400 members of the local community and local tourism businesses, to create a new brand, website and other marketing materials for Carrick, target- ed towards reversing declining visitor numbers. Visitors are now encouraged to “Experience more of Scotland” through Carrick’s promotional strap line, a typographic logo and website (www.carrickayrshire.com). This is the first time that Carrick has been given its own signature brand, as well as a place for all information on the area to be stored and easily accessed by visitors and tourists – the website includes details on the wide range of gift shops, B&Bs, restaurants, visitor attractions, outdoor activities and more available. Marketing materials including a quarterly newsletter and “Welcome to Carrick” booklet, have been created and are now distributed throughout the area and beyond. A key product development aspect of the project has been the establishment of the new Carrick Community Heritage Trail. The project also celebrates the links we have with Robert the Bruce and Robert Burns and the Carrick Community Councils’ Forum on projects that help to promote the lives of these two most famous of Scots. Genealogy will also feature in encouraging more people to return to their roots and visit the area and their history. Walking and Cycling are also a major reason for people to visit and stay in Carrick. We want to work with all our local accommodation businesses to ensure that they are geared up for these visitors. By promoting walking and cycling, we can encourage people to visit Crosshill on public transport, cutting down on our carbon foot print whilst still being accessible. Visitors to Crosshill have a wide choice of accommodation provision, from self catering cottages to stunning castles with modern and deluxe interiors. There are also many activities to take part in, from walking or cycling in and around Crosshill to fishing and stalking, sheep dog demonstrations or cookery demonstrations. The Bruce Trail South Ayrshire During 2013, 17 local communities across South Ayrshire identified their village as having a historic link with King Robert the Bruce. Although Crosshill is not amongst these communities, visitors will visit other local villages that have links and we will work to draw those visitors into Crosshill as well. The Carrick Way This long distance walking route has been a long time in the making but there is renewed impetus to get it completed and marketed. With good access from Crosshill, it is part of the tourism mix that helps to at- tract visitors to the area. Page 6
Carrick Rural Housing Study 2013
This study to investigate the development of new housing projects in Carrick was carried out on behalf of
the Carrick Community Councils’ Forum by Ailsa Horizons in partnership with Ayrshire Housing. The aim
of the study was to quantify local housing needs and establish the appropriateness of small scale housing
developments in 6 villages within Carrick, South Ayrshire. The 6 locations, including Crosshill, were cho-
sen on the basis of need and development opportunities.
Existing housing in Crosshill is a mixture of single, one and a half, and two storey traditional properties.
The housing stock includes a mix of rented housing through South Ayrshire Council, Ayrshire Housing and
some private rented properties. There are also some development plots for sale in and around Crosshill,
but it has been a number of years since any social housing has been developed in the village.
During the study it emerged that there was a demand for more affordable rented housing to be made
available, and particularly for young people who have grown up locally and want to stay in Crosshill.
Surveys of both South Ayrshire Council and Ayrshire Housing waiting lists established that existing council
and housing association accommodation in Crosshill is in demand. South Ayrshire Council’s waiting list
indicated that 100 people had made expressions of interest for Crosshill - a greater number than any of
the other villages included in the study. Likewise, Ayrshire Housing’s waiting list demonstrated that 29
respondents showed an interest in Crosshill.
Two potential development sites have been identified in Crosshill. The first of these is a site which is ac-
cessed from Kirkmichael Road, and was previously identified in the South Ayrshire Council Local Develop-
ment Plan Supplementary Guidance: Housing Release Sites. That document indicates that the site has
the capacity to accommodate 35 houses of single or one and a half storey design. The second site is lo-
cated on Milton Street and Bruce Square and is really two sites with a boundary between. This 0.5 hec-
tare site is identified by South Ayrshire Council in its Vacant and Derelict Land Mapping as well as the
Agreed Housing Land Supply 2012.
The study has established opportunities for partnership working between the communities of Carrick and a
number of partners including local community benefit companies, the Carrick Community Councils’ Forum
and Ayrshire Housing, in order to fulfil both the needs of local people and those wishing to move into the
village. The report recommended that discussion should be held with the local community with a view to
taking affordable housing development in Crosshill forward as a priority.

Page 11Local Business in Crosshill
Crosshill benefits from 2 public houses, 1 village shop and post office, and a local farm shop and
food producer.
Of the 2 pubs, one is very much the local’s haunt and the other a family eating establishment.
Both businesses would benefit from more custom and there is the potential for the businesses to
work together and with other tourism businesses to create marketing leaflets and information that
will attract visitors into Crosshill or provide information for existing businesses.
Residents noted concern about the potential closure of the only village shop. This was also
confirmed by the owner during engagement with the local community agent. The owner com-
mented that should the business not sell within a realistic time frame then they, as owners would
have to consider their options in what they do with the business. This opens up potential for the
community to explore the possibility of a community-run shop. With its neighbouring villages of
Straiton and Kirkmichael both running their own community shops, Crosshill has a wealth of
knowledge and experience to draw on should the community decide to try this option.
Dalduff Farm provides local produce, vegetables and home reared meats.
The farm also has flexible entertaining space and is used for functions,
small market functions, and Dalduff’s annual open day.
Crosshill also benefits from a strong agricultural theme, with
tenant and owner farms surrounding the village. Equine
businesses also thrive in Crosshill, with Ballochbrae Farm
Stables providing pony activities for local children through a
unique membership base.
Climate Change
Crosshill residents have been understand-
ably concerned over recent wet weather
and roads being submerged when the Riv-
er Girvan bursts its banks
Residents would like to ascertain flood
prevention measures for Crosshill that will
be put in place by South Ayrshire Council
Page 12Encourage Youth Participation
We want to maintain and develop the good links that we have with our youth, through the schools and
through the clubs and associations available to the young people in Crosshill. .
Crosshill pupils have the opportunity to be part of South Ayrshire's Youth Forum and the Scottish Youth
Parliament once they move to High School. Taking part in these activities offers young people
opportunities to join in debates and consultations and learn to speak up for themselves and their peers.
Young people have been involved in the consultation that has formed this action plan, through survey
work within the village and consultation at the 2013 South Ayrshire Youth Conference and the 2013
Young Scot events.
Crosshill Primary School have been consulting with their pupils through their school captains, to campaign
for some trim trail equipment within the school grounds. The trim trail will initiate healthy play and provide
competitive play at Sports day and school fetes.
The school captains have also been involved in planning the trim trail, sourcing equipment and then look-
ing at funding options. Working through the Ayrshire 21 project and Ailsa Horizons, these young people
are learning about funding applications and the information required to complete them.
Funding applications are being made to local and national funders and the Parent Council is supporting
the school in this.
Along with some local fund raising activities organised by the school, funds are hoped to be in place by
summer 2014 to build the trail.
Page 13Community Planning Partnership (CPP) The South Ayrshire Community Planning Partnership was set up in 2001.

Page 17Acknowledgements We would like to thank the community of Crosshill, for their help in putting together this action plan. All age ranges of the community have had the opportunity to feed into this process and have their views reflected within this plan. Information from this plan has also been informed by other projects and activities such as: Carrick Community Councils’ Forum Tourism Project Community Empowerment Bill Local Community Plan Implementation and Feedback The Community Action Plan represents the end of one process, (capturing the views of the community and compiling recommendations) and the start of another - the implementation phase. The recommendations within this plan need to be acted upon to realise the improvements to the quality of life that have been identified. It is your community that will drive these actions forward, supported by partners and other agencies. The main community groups that have fed into this Action Plan with ideas and actions will be able to draw on expertise of regeneration, community de- velopment, and economic development specialists within South Ayrshire Council, VASA and Ailsa Horizons to further develop and carry out their plans. The local residents and groups within Crosshill who have been directly involved in the Action Planning process now invite other residents to review these results and conclusions. Through this Action Plan, you are sure to gain a better understanding of the issues of concern to your community and we would welcome your comments on the analysis and any new insights. If you wish any further information on this action plan or the contents, please feel free to contact any of the groups listed in the Action List or Crosshill, Straiton and Kirkmichael Community Council. Further information on how this action plan was put together can be found through Ailsa Horizons on 01465 710628.
