To ask the Scottish Executive what discussion it has had with East Ayrshire Council regarding the state of local roads.

I have not received a request from East Ayrshire Council to discuss the state of local roads in their area.

It is entirely a matter for councils to decide what priority is given to local roads and to allocate resources accordingly.
