TROON locals are being asked to give their views and priorities on their future as a new steering group comes together to shape the town.
The Troon Together consultation gives people the chance to discuss the big issues affecting the future success of Troon and create a community action plan.
Funded and supported by South Ayrshire Council and the Scottish Government’s Making Places Fund, Troon Together is led by a steering group including representatives from Troon Community Council, Troon Development Trust, Troon Rotary Club, Troon Business Club, Troon Churches Together, Troon Community Sports Hub, Muirhead Tenants and Residents Association, South Ayrshire Paths Initiative, and Troon and Villages Locality Group.
The Troon Together community views survey is just one part of the consultation, which includes meetings with different groups and interests in the community, workshops with young people and a special community event that will take place in the Walker Hall on September 7.
The survey asks people to outline their likes and dislikes about the town; their views on what would make it a better place to live/work/visit; what the vision and priorities should be for the future; and how the town can become more sustainable.
Councillor Douglas Campbell, Leader of South Ayrshire Council, said: “The community views survey is the first step in the Troon Together consultation and it’s great to see the group get this up and running so quickly.
“There are no right or wrong answers. This is about everyone getting the chance to have their say and help shape a successful and sustainable future for Troon.”

Paper copies are available from Troon Library, Troon Customer Service Centre, Troon Swimming Pool, Morrison’s, Lavender Room on Portland Street, KeyStore on Deveron Road, Muirhead Activity centre, Premier Store – Barassie.
