ARDROSSAN'S new Beach House Cafe and Hub on the Prom was vandalised over the weekend, with dog excrement smeared over the sink, floor and toilet.

CCTV images are now being studied in an attempt to identify those responsible.

Ardrossan Community Development Trust (ACDT), who are behind the Hub project, were angered by the mindless vandalism.

Chairperson Scott Mould described the incident as "totally disgusting".

He added: "Ardrossan is deserving of this new community asset and a minority will not spoilt it.

"We intend on checking camera and identifying the culprits and further action will be taken."

Disappointed staff at the Beach House Cafe also posted online: "Wee post of gratitude to those who frequent our cafe and toilets, (which our staff clean daily.) As a brand new facility we aim to maintain our cafe and hub for all.

"No gratitude to the person who left dog excrement all over our sink, floor and toilet. We had to close the unisex toilet to the public today for a period.

"As a matter of diligence and to keep the facilities presentable and we do check frequently during the day. Sadly we missed this thoughtless act."
