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.

South Ayrshire Council-Suspension of Services-Monday 19th September 2022

15 September, 2022

South Ayrshire Council confirms some services will be suspended on day of funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

Report by: Eileen Howat, Chief Executive

As a mark of respect on the day of the funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, some of our services will be temporarily suspended.

Many of our services were already scheduled to be closed due to the pre-arranged local public holiday, however the following services will now also not operate on Monday 19 September 2022:

•All Sport and Leisure services (including our golf courses);
•Rozelle House Museum and Galleries;
•The Maclaurin Art Gallery.

These services will resume as normal on Tuesday 20 September.

Arrangements are in place to ensure that all essential Health and Social Care activities continue on Monday 19 September.

Waste Management collections will not be affected and will continue to operate as normal on Monday 19 September.

The Book of Remembrance at Ayr Crematorium will also remain open as normal.

Leader of South Ayrshire Council, Councillor Martin Dowey said: “Following the sad passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, I know people across South Ayrshire, including many of our staff, will want to pay their respects and take time to reflect on a lifetime of service on the day of our late monarch’s funeral.

“While some of our non-essential services were already scheduled to be closed due to the pre-arranged public holiday, we have taken the decision to suspend further services on Monday 19 September. This is as both a mark of respect and to allow those who wish to do so, time to mourn the loss of our longest serving sovereign.”
