Stirling Council are carrying out a formal review Community Councils governance and they see it as an opportunity to support the Council’s new place based approach to communities and to strengthen all Community Council’s ability to represent their community.

 

A Special Meeting of the Council held on 28 September 2017, agreed to a public consultation exercise to take this forward. This online survey is the first part of this review, and will end on the 29th November 2017. 

Your views will be fed into a report to identify themes and ideas for further investigation and exploration in the second phase of the review.

 

The deadline for survey completions is 29th November.

More information can be found on the Stirling Council website here.

Following a period of review and discussion with residents and the Community Council, Stirling Council are proposing to reduce the speed limit on Airthrey Road between Coneyhill and Hillfoots Road from 40MPH to 30 MPH.

At October’s Community Council meeting this was discussed with input from all those present, including Elected Members.

Bridge of Allan Community Council voted unanimously in favour of the proposed speed reduction.

More detail is noted here and you are invited to comment on these proposals in writing to the responsible Officer, Mr Stephen Easton, at Stirling Council by NO LATER THAN 30TH NOVEMBER 2017. Please address your comments to his email address or to his postal address noted below.

“Please find attached a draft proposal to reduce the speed of traffic from the 40mph to 30mph on Airthrey Road and Henderson Street between Bridge of Allan and Causewayhead. It has been brought to our attention of the increase of pedestrian traffic crossing the road due to the new Wallace High School and the volume of cyclists travelling on this road. The speed reduction would also benefit the SUSTRANS project that is proposed for this area to improve cycling and pedestrian facilities.

I would be grateful if you could provide your comments and hopefully if positive I can proceed with submitting an order through the legal process.

Kind regards,

Stephen Easton
