NEW Hanging baskets and potted flower trays are brightening up Saltcoats town centre - thanks to the community council.

Fresh off the back of the success of the first ever Saltcoats Food Fest, the community council have been working hard to get the new plants and baskets up. and looking good right throughout the main thoroughfares in Saltcoats.

The main troughs are placed along the railings next to Saltcoats War Memorial and there are other plants in the town with local businesses - such as Tickety Boo and Art N Joy - getting on board.

The community council thank everyone for their support and thank the Hunterston Rotary Club for their kind donation towards the baskets.
