To begin the promised, necessary, urgent and required refurbishment and redevelopment of Ardrossan Harbour to accommodate the new vessels Glen Sannox and Glen Rosa to continue this vital, near 200 year old, lifeline service between Ardrossan and Brodick.

To commit to transparent public discussions with all stakeholders, including Save Ardrossan Harbour.

To commit to a financial support package for the social and economic communities of Ardrossan and Arran who are suffering economic and reputational damage as a result of the continued delayed works at Ardrossan Harbour.
