Troon is an electoral ward in the eastern part of Leicester, largely residential with a mix of mid‑20th century council housing and private homes. It sits within easy reach of the city centre and local green spaces, with small parades of shops, primary schools and community facilities serving day‑to‑day needs.
The ward has a diverse population and a strong community ethos, with local groups and activities reflecting a range of cultures and ages. Historically developed on former farmland after the Second World War, the area has seen pockets of regeneration and generally relies for employment on nearby retail, light industry and commuting into Leicester.
