Trinity Church is a landmark A-listed building that occupies a prominent site within Irvine town centre. Over many years the building had fallen into a severe state of disrepair. Now Irvine Bay Regeneration Company, in partnership with North Ayrshire Council and Trinity Church Trust, has undertaken an initial piece of work to secure the building as a future development opportunity.
The current work began with the removal of a pigeon infestation and subsequent clean-up of the building in April 2009.
R & R Construction were selected as contractors. In the course of 2009 a new roof has been put on the building and a comprehensive survey of the church spire carried out. This work was completed in February 2010. Watch a podcast of the survey.
As a result of the survey, North Ayrshire Council provided additional funding to carry out initial upgrade works to the spire. This work is also complete.
Discussions are continuing with potential end-users regarding using the building as a bar and restaurant.
