Here are the Ayrshire regions that used Eat Out to Help Out the most
Ayrshire residents during the Eat Out to Help Out scheme.Official Treasury figures show that diners in the region saved £2,203,000 throughout August as a result of the initiative.Diners got a state-backed 50 per cent discount on meals and soft drinks up to £10 each on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays during August.The Treasury said restaurants have so far made 130,000 claims worth £522 million, with figures likely to rise as outlets have until the end of September to claim.Across Scotland, more than six million discounted meals were enjoyed in 8500 restaurants as a result of the initiative.The figures don’t yet include the final day of the scheme on Monday, August 31 so the final total is likely to be even higher.South Scotland Conservative
