Thank you for your request.

Unfortunately we do not hold the information you requested. We believe your enquiry may be better suited for East Ayrshire council or the Department for Transport (DfT) who can be contacted at transport.statistics@dft.gov.uk.

We are sorry we can't be of any assistance on this occasion.
