Cumnock is the second largest town in East Ayrshire and has many locally owned businesses, groups and organisations that help meet the needs of the wider community. It is important to ensure that Cumnock retains its status as a thriving town where its appearance and facilities are appealing to both residents and visitors alike. Cumnock is a friendly town that has a wealth of history and heritage whose residents are welcoming and care for their community.
