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.

A message from Trading Standards

Trading Standards are issuing advice regarding unsolicited telephone calls.

Marketing Campaign:, Signage and animation: Parking in Troon: ODD OBJECT Competition

3 July, 2024

Marketing Campaign:

A digital, outdoor, and print campaign is running to promote Troon. Adverts are currently running on ScotRail trains, at various train stations, Prestwick Airport, Glasgow Underground, Facebook, and Google search and display.

Signage and animation:

We are working to deliver extensive signage to dress and promote Troon.

Improvements:

A number of improvements/upgrades have been identified by our Neighbourhood Services Team, and these will be implemented over the summer.

You may already have noticed one such improvement to the Cabin, which is situated across from the Walker Hall, which will have high visibility due to its position next to a shuttle bus drop-off point.  New artwork, created and produced by Marr College S6 Advanced Higher pupils and supported by South Ayrshire Council, has recently been installed.

Parking in Troon:

It has been agreed that, beyond the no-waiting restrictions (as detailed on the ARA website), no additional parking restrictions in Troon will be put in place during The Open; all public car parks/spaces will continue to work as they currently do.  This means no permits will be issued.
