South Ayrshire chaos continues unabated as Chief Executive resigns over procurement scandal
In private, it was decided that former chief executive of Argyll and Bute and South Lanarkshire Council, Cleland Sneddon, will be tasked with steadying the South Ayrshire ship. The chaos surrounding South Ayrshire Council continued unabated this week, with the resignation of Chief Executive Mike Newall. Councillors agreed on interim arrangements in the wake of his departure at yesterday's full council meeting, with the urgent item heard in private having been added to the agenda at short notice. Outgoing Depute Chief Executive Lyndsay McRoberts will continue to oversee the council until she leaves to take up the position of Director of Education Resources at South Lanarkshire Council in August. She took over the running of the council at the start of June following Mr Newall's decision to temporarily step down as a result of secret recordings alleging breaches of procurement rules. Former chief executive of Argyll and Bute and South Lanarkshire Council, Cleland Sneddon, will be tasked with steadying the South Ayrshire ship when he takes on the role of interim chief executive in August. The council says this will allow time for a robust recruitment and selection process to take place to appoint a new permanent chief executive. The resignation of Mr Newall is the latest shock in a series of events that began when a recording of former Conservative Council Leader Martin Dowey apparently offering help in securing a multi-million pound demolition contract was revealed. This lead to a domino effect that saw the Conservative Provost Iain Campbell resign in protest at the situation, before returning to the post as an Independent. Several other Conservatives left the party, leaving the administration largely in the hands of Independent councillors, albeit most of whom were already serving on the cabinet. The resignations of the former Chief Executive and Council Leader (who remains a Councillor) and Ms McRoberts move are not the only big changes to senior positions in South Ayrshire. It was also revealed that South Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership Chief Officer Tim Eltringham and Billy McClean, the Partnership's Head of Community Health and Care, are leaving their posts. Mike Newall had held several positions at South Ayrshire Council since joining as Head of Planning and Enterprise in 2009. He was Assistant Director of People from May 2020 to 2022 and having been appointed Depute Chief Executive and Director of Housing in October 2022, was quickly made Chief Executive in November 2023 following the retirement of previous CE Eileen Howat. Councillor Brian Connolly, Leader of South Ayrshire Council, said: 'It has been a challenging period for the Council, and I want to thank Lyndsay McRoberts for her ongoing leadership and support. 'I'm pleased that Cleland has agreed to take on the chief executive role on an interim basis when Lyndsay leaves. 'Cleland brings a strong background in local government leadership and I'm sure he'll provide robust strategic management during his time with us at South Ayrshire. I very much look forward to working with him .' South Ayrshire Council's Interim Chief Executive, Cleland Sneddon, said: 'I am very much looking forward to forming strong working relationships with elected members and new colleagues in South Ayrshire. 'The council has enormous potential and I am glad I have been asked to contribute, pending the appointment of a permanent successor.'

Property firm take over Hamilton Regent Shopping Centre earmarked for 'radical' redevelopment
The centre has been identified as a key site in South Lanarkshire Council's masterplan vision for the regeneration of Hamilton town centre. A property developer has acquired Hamilton's Regent Shopping Centre for an undisclosed sum. Tahir Ali, of national property development and asset management group Evergold, has had a series of "detailed discussions" with South Lanarkshire Council on the future of the town centre site which is part of a local authority masterplan to construct 450 new homes. Occupying a dominant position in Hamilton town centre, the centre's positioning and scale means that it makes up a significant proportion of the town centre core. The centre has been identified as a key site in South Lanarkshire Council's masterplan vision for the regeneration of Hamilton town centre to create a vibrant, accessible, and resilient town centre with a focus on living, leisure, healthcare and workspace as well as incorporating a significantly reduced retail element. Radical plans include reducing the town centre's vacant retail spaces by more than two-thirds, building houses and creating new leisure uses including an urban park. Lanarkshire Live previously reported that the sweeping changes would include knocking down both the Regent and New Cross shopping centres, repurposing or demolishing Bairds and the former Marks & Spencer, and creating a hotel or student accommodation on the site of Duke Street car park. Evergold say the redevelopment of Regent Shopping Centre "would by far" be the largest and most important repositioning project identified in the council's masterplan. Mr Ali said: 'We have already held a series of detailed discussions with South Lanarkshire Council and are looking forward to working closely with them, together with the current tenants, local community and key stakeholders, over the coming years to ensure the most productive use is continued to be achieved for this six-acre gateway site. 'The centre's previous owners have been judicious investors for Hamilton and continue to be through their ownership of the Palace Grounds Retail Park in the town centre. 'Our plans for the centre are aligned closely with the council's aim to have a diverse and sustainable mixed use town centre that not only serves its immediate catchment but also becomes a vibrant hub for the wider region. 'Over the coming months and years, we will explore the many ways that can be achieved." Alison Brown, Head of Enterprise and Sustainable Development at South Lanarkshire Council, said: 'As a council we have been in dialogue with Mr Ali for some months in respect of delivering the ambition of the Hamilton Town Centre Masterplan. We look forward to continuing to work with him as we move forward.' Evergold have instructed Calvin Molinari from Shepherd Chartered Surveyors to deal with new letting enquiries.
