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.

Following on from positive discussions with the community last year, Go Girvan have taken the feedback on board and looked into having an Ailsa Craig Centre in Girvan.  They have created a document which details the background of the Ailsa Craig Centre project.  It also outlines the proposed features, locations and design considerations.  Go Girvan are keen for this to be a community-led project and therefore need your input.  Click on link above to access the feedback form and for further information.  Paper copies of the form can be picked up from the Tourist Information Point.
