TROON LIBRARY RELOCATION – EARLY YEARS SPACES – PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PROCESS INFORMATION

27 March, 2023

The SAC engagement process starts 28th March and information will be available in Troon Library from 27th March onwards.

South Ayrshire Council will undertake public engagement as it looks to expand the
number of early years spaces in Troon.
The proposal is to move the Early Years Centre into Troon Library, which means that
the library would relocate
to the ground floor in Troon Municipal building.
The Council has explored a number of options in Troon over the years as it looks to
increase the amount of early learning and childcare spaces. If it goes ahead, the
provision will also mean places for 2-year-olds and more flexible choices of
attendance patterns and times for parents.
If agreed, £540,000 would be invested in the new look library and approximately £1.4
million would be used to convert the existing library into a fit for purpose Early Years
Centre.
Engagement with locals is key when considering these proposals and the Council
will conduct face to face meetings with groups that could be affected. There are also
plans for an online survey.
The public engagement is set to begin in mid-March and will last until June. We’ll
issue more information when it becomes available.
Social media
We will start a public engagement exercise in mid-March on increasing early years
spaces in Troon. This could mean changes for the library and the municipal building.
