Stevenston hit by industrial strikes
30 November
Stevenston can expect some disruption to public services today (Wednesday, November 30), as strikes take place across the country.
Council services, such as schools, care services and bin collections will be subject to severe disruption as a result of industrial actions by trade unions.
However, the Toy Library at Auchenharvie Academy will be open until 2pm.
Social services offices will also be open for emergencies and any residents who require emergency assistance should contact:
- Caley Court (Adult Services), 01294 476000
- Glencairn Business Unit (Care at Home Services), 01294 462200
- Community Service Office (Community Service), Moorpark Industrial Estate, 01294 608900
While the council's Customer Contact Centre is expected to be operational, customers may face longer call waiting times due to reduced staff numbers.
They can, however, continue to pay bills online.
A spokesperson for the council said: “We will make every effort to minimise the impact of industrial action on services across North Ayrshire and are working hard to ensure essential services are maintained for vulnerable members of the community.”
Facilities are expected to be open as normal tomorrow.
