The remainder of the footways in Maybole and Girvan, together with those in Ballantrae, Lendalfoot, Kirkoswald and Minishant are assigned as either Category B or C and should be cleared within two hours of snowfall ceasing during the period 06.00 hours and 18.00 hours. However, as snowfall continued between midnight on 21 December and midnight on 24 December, no clearing of snow from these pavements and footpaths was undertaken.
