North Ayrshire Council, notifying locals of the work commencing, say that parking will also be restricted along the area of closure to ensure resurfacing can be carried out safely and efficiently.

No parking is to be allowed in the area with an official no waiting order to be implemented throughout.

However, access will be permitted to or from properties on both Glencairn Street and High Road when it is safe to allow this.

Pedestrian access will also be maintained through the duration of the works and emergency vehicle access will be maintained at all times.

A North Ayrshire Council spokesperson said: "Thank you for your co-operation and patience for the duration of the works.

"If you require special access arrangements please contact the roads team on 01294 310000."
