Three Stirling Council Consultations have surveys now open through June and July (and one until end of August):
Sustainable Transport System Survey
The council is asking for feedback on its Sustainable Mobility Strategy (further details click here: https://engage.stirling.gov.uk/en-GB/projects/sustainable-mobility ) which sets out how Stirling will transition to a transport system that is environmentally friendly, economically efficient and safe. All types of travel are covered in the wide-ranging strategy, including public transport, walking, cycling, wheeling and driving. Some of the proposed projects include: developing a planned network of urban and rural active travel routes, supporting the electrification of the bus fleet, making a case for a new train station at Bannockburn/Cowie, identifying sites for additional electric vehicle chargers and supporting the uptake of zero emission freight vehicles.
There will also be a survey on travel demand. This will ask people about an important journey they take, such as getting to work or school, visiting shops or spending time with friends and family.

Walk, Cycle, Live Stirling Consultation Survey
Stirling Council are seeking feedback on the newly-opened Walk, Cycle, Live Stirling project to ensure this transformative active travel infrastructure reflects the needs and priorities of communities and will be a crucial part of Stirling’s future transport network. The new infrastructure will also lay the foundations for future connections to Clackmannanshire and the wider Forth Valley region, some of which are currently out for consultation.
The survey is an opportunity for people to share their thoughts on the current infrastructure, potential improvements and any barriers they face when choosing to travel actively.

Local Housing Strategy (2026–2031) Consultation
The Local Housing Strategy is a five-year plan that outlines our housing priorities and the actions we’ll take to meet local needs. It’s essential that this plan reflects the voices of communities across Stirling—especially those who are often under-represented. There is a drop-in session at the Bridge of Allan Library, 26th June 10am to 1pm, where people can speak to the Housing Team directly about their views, priorities and experiences. Also there is the online Early Engagement Survey:

We need your input to help us finalise our Local Place Plan for Bridge of Allan. After a successful engagement day on 24 May in the Church Hall, our engagement boards are now in the local library until Friday 13 June. If you get the chance please pop in and leave your thoughts on our feedback sheets, or come say hi to us at Picnic in the Park on 14 June at Memorial Park.
Don’t worry if you cant make it in for any reason – there are other ways to stay involved. Our key themes and question areas are laid out below – just drop a comment or an email with anything you want us to capture.
Biodiversity and Greenspace
- what can we do to enhance, protect and increase biodiversity?

Getting Around, Transport and Active travel
- Is our current public transport provision usable and accessible?

Housing
- People have told us Bridge of Allan needs more housing. Are there areas in Bridge of Allan that you’d support or oppose for more housing?
- What type of housing would you like to see or do you think we need? This could be 3 bed plus homes, 1-2 bed homes, sheltered housing, starter/affordable homes, flats, or other options?
- What does affordable housing mean to you?
Our Physical Environment
- Do you think we have sufficient parking in Bridge of Allan? If not, where might we need additional parking options?

Our Bridge of Allan Plan last year led to the Bridge of Allan Community Action Plan.
We are now taking this forward with a focus on planning. We aim to submit our Local Place Plan to Stirling Council by October 2025.
Local Place Plans give communities an opportunity to discuss and agree our aspirations for future development in our local area. These will be taken into account in the next Local Development Plan.
We are holding a drop in session in the Honeyman Hall at Bridge of Allan Parish Church on 24th May, which coincides with Friends of Bridge of Allan Plant Sale and Coffee Morning. Pop in to see our display and chat to members of the Steering Group, and add your views. We will be there from 10 until 5pm.
Our display will then transfer to Bridge of Allan Library for 4 weeks, where you will also be able to leave comments.
We will also have an online feedback facility on the Bridge of Allan Community Council website. Or come along to our monthly public meetings.
