Motorcyclists on Arran may soon be able to renew their MOT on the island as planning permission is being sought to operate a new motorcycle testing station, writes Colin Smeeton.
An application has been lodged with North Ayrshire Council planning department, on behalf of William Campbell, who is seeking permission for a motorcycle and vehicle repair and servicing garage in Auchrannie Road, Brodick, on the site of the former Vulcan Garage.
The purpose-built building operated as a garage for a number of years before it closed. It was then used for two days a week as a farmers’ market before that too ceased. Latterly the building has remained unused.
