Troon Community Council

The Role of the Troon Community Council

Community Councils are voluntary bodies which exist within a statutory framework and which have been granted statutory rights of consultation. The general purpose of the Troon Community Council is to ascertain, co-ordinate and express the wider views of the entire community within its boundaries. Community Councils will seek to represent and include all sections of their communities, regardless of age, gender, ability, ethnic origin, political or religious beliefs, or sexual orientation. They can complement the role of the local authority but are not part of local government.

Communities ready to discuss a different democratic future Join the Democracy Matters Conversation

13 September, 2023

It’s been a fortnight since the second phase of Democracy Matters was launched by ministers and the COSLA presidential team at Linlithgow Community Development Trust.

We’ve already had a fantastic response with people telling us about the conversations they plan to have in their communities and the ambitious changes they want to see happen as a result.

Whether at the launch event or at the Development Trust Association Scotland Conference, it’s clear that communities across the country are already buzzing with ideas and are ready to get together to imagine a different democratic future.

Apply for a Democracy Matters Grant

For those new to the process we’ve written a wee blog about what happened during the first phase and our vision this time around. As you’ll see, equalities and participation were at the heart of phase one and will be again because democracy matters to everyone and no voice should be left unheard or disregarded.

We’ll be sending you these newsletters regularly throughout this second phase updating you on the trends and great stories that emerge.

For more information and accessible materials to help you host your community conversation head to our website. You can also access financial support for your Democracy Matters conversation

As ever if you have any questions about the engagement process don’t hesitate to drop us a line at democracymatters@gov.scot.

Best Wishes

Cayr Local – supporting people living in their communities.

12 September, 2023

 At present we are looking for individuals to start up their own business in supporting people living in their communities. This has been identified as a need in areas of south Ayrshire. If I can be involved in anything happening in the area, please contact me. My aim is to get people set up in their own business then pass the directory to anyone looking for support.

If in anyway you can support Cayr Local, then please get in contact. I am out and about in the communities and advertising events on our Ailn facebook page.

Resurfacing works due to commence on Monday 11th September at Troon Promenade and Newton Shore.

12 September, 2023

 The benches and bins on the promenade at Troon / Newton Shore need to be removed for the works to take place and  re-sited once the works are complete. Benches to be moved on Saturday morning, there are 7 benches that require to be removed – we have approx. 70 benches on the promenade / Ballast Bank and therefore the removal of 7 should not cause any issues. Newton Shore has a small wooden bench on the slipway to the sea and that will be removed if necessary.  Litterbins to be removed early Monday morning due to the Festival of Flight at the weekend.

It is estimated that the works will be complete within 1-2 weeks.
