Bridge of Allan Community Council are recruiting!
We are looking for two new members to join the Community Council as co-opted members until full elections are held in 2023.
Community Council work
We have been actively working on many different community projects and initiatives, so it is more important than ever that all sections and voices of Bridge of Allan are represented on the Community Council.
There are some exciting and rewarding projects we are hoping new members can help us with:
Communications: Keeping residents upto date of news and projects using the web and a printed newsletter
Telephone Box: The Community Council bought the Telephone box on Inverallan Drive/Station road a few years ago now. Many residents have contributed with ideas and offers of help since then. We need someone who can help to carefully manage this to bring the box back to life and use.
Christmas Lights: Each year we work with business and communinty parners to fund and install the village Christmas Lights.
Generally the role involves keeping up to date with community issues raised, working together to find solutions and helping communicate resident’s views to local organisation such as Stirling Council, Network Rail, developers and businesses. We have 10 meetings a year usually held at the Allan Centre, however at the moment these are held online using Zoom.
To see what we have been working on recently you can look at past meeting minutes and our Facebook page. To find out more about community councils and how they are run see here.
How to Apply
You can put yourself forward if you live in the Bridge of Allan area, are over 16, and are on the electoral register. To nominate yourself you should complete this Co-option Nomination form and return it to contact@ccbridgeofallan.org.uk.
Successful Nominations will then be approved at our next meeting. Although there are only 2 spaces for Co-opted members on the Council, we can also appoint associate members who help us with specific issues such as planning applications, youth events or business for example.
