East Ayrshire Council chiefs were grilled over the drastic changes to the local authority's summer scheme as kids with additional support needs look set to lose out this summer.
The local authority's head of education defended the remodeled offering at a meeting of the full council and put on record that she was "proud" of what was available to kids in the area.
Parents voiced grave concerns for ASN children facing upheaval over the long summer with the regular scheme previously available in 2019 no longer available.

To infinity … and beyond recognition. Tim Allen is revealing how he really feels about the new Lightyear movie three years after he last voiced the animated Buzz Lightyear character in Toy Story 4.
Zack Sharf Tim Allen has finally weighed in on “Lightyear,” the Pixar movie inspired by the character he made famous in four “Toy Story” movies. Chris Evans voices the title character in “Lightyear.” The film functions in the “Toy Story” universe as the movie that inspired the toy that Allen voices, which is why Evans stepped into the role and why Allen was not involved. If it all sounds confusing, well, it is.“The short answer is I’ve stayed out of this because it has nothing to do [with my character],” Allen told “Extra” about the Pixar spinoff.
Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticIn his new Amazon series “The Terminal List,” actor Chris Pratt is built like a brick wall, and has about half as much charisma. His character, James Reece, is on a Charles Bronson-esque mission of revenge against the forces that ambushed his Navy SEAL platoon in the field and, back home, irrevocably altered his family life (with his wife played, mainly in flashback, by a wildly overqualified Riley Keough, and his daughter by Arlo Mertz).
