Thank you for taking the time to respond to East Ayrshire Council's Kilmarnock Town Centre Masterplan survey.

East Ayrshire Council is committed to engaging with all residents in a spirit of openness, honesty, and mutual respect. Feedback from our communities is vital to our decision-making.

While the Council welcomes diverse opinions, including criticism of services or policies, feedback must be provided in a respectful manner. Constructive feedback - even if it is highly critical - will be analysed and included in our reporting.

Comments that contain harmful or discriminatory content, including abusive, threatening or discriminatory language, will be redacted or excluded from public reports.

Tell us about yourself

The vision to 2040 only works with the input of people. We're seeking ideas to work towards a better future for the town and those who live in it, work in it, and visit it.

That's why we're asking for your views. To help us ensure we get a representative mix of contributions, we'd like to know a little bit about you first.

We will only use your answers for the purposes of this survey - to inform the shared vision and concept Masterplan - and they won't be passed on to third parties.
