Ayr is the largest town on the Ayrshire coast and its commercial and administrative centre. The A77 bypasses it to the east, carrying traffic between Glasgow and the ferry ports at Cairnryan, and the roundabouts along that bypass are regularly worked on. The A70 comes in from Cumnock and the A713 from the Doon valley, both bringing timber and quarry lorries towards the coast.
The harbour on the north side of the river handles bulk cargoes such as timber, salt and aggregates, with dust and spillage on the dock roads as a consequence. Prestwick Airport and its cluster of aerospace engineering firms lie just up the road. Housing has been expanding on the south-east side of the town, and the racecourse, the long seafront and the summer visitor trade all create seasonal cleaning work on car parks and esplanade roads.
Coverage in and around Ayr
Ayr enquiries also take in Prestwick, Troon, Monkton, Alloway, Coylton, Mossblown, Annbank and Maybole. South Ayrshire becomes very rural beyond Maybole, and Girvan and the Carrick villages are a long drive down the A77. Fewer operators are based in Ayrshire than around Glasgow, so advance booking and full-shift hire are the practical options for outlying sites.
