At our meeting last week Flora and Michaela from the Stirling Council Active Travel Project team presented an update on the Causewayhead to Dunblane active travel route. You can read the presentation below.
A feasibility study on the Bridge of Allan to Dunblane route was completed in 2021, and a study of the Bridge of Allan to Airthrey Road was completed in 2023. Now concept designs for the Phase 1 part of the route are being prepared for wider consultation.
At this stage we are looking for members of Community Advisory Group (CAG). People who have been previously involved in the group looking at the route, will be contacted to confirm ongoing engagement. The CAG will be a group represnting a broad range of interests, insights and expertise to consult with on early designs, areas of constraint and support the project development. Over time the group will assist in sharing accurate information on decision making and in obtaining support within the wider community. If you are interested in becoming a member of the CAG then please get in touch.
The consultation on this part of the route has not started yet, but you may find interesting the process and comments riased during the Walk Cycle Live Stirling Project consultation.

Drumbrae
After consultation in the summer of 2023, and the sharing of their planting plan, The University of Edinburgh Drumbrae team would like to invite the local community to come along to a community meeting to hear from some of the team who are working at the site.
Come along on November 22nd at 7-8.30 at the Parish Church and find out what has been happening so far, what is coming up, how you can get involved and share your feedback. They would also love to hear what people would like to see in our community woodland space at Cocksburn Wood.
You can find more information about Drumbrae on the website and Story Map here.
Cocksburn Reservoir
Nearby to the Drunbrae site there is a Scottish Water tree planting scheme at Cocksburn. This will involve 3.38 hectares of land surrounding the reservoir, as highlighted on the map below. The aim is to create a woodland that compliments the existing habitats and footpaths in the area, and it is anticipated that planting would take place towards the end of 2024. This would involve a team of planters hand screefing the soil to create a better condition for the saplings and upgrading the existing stock fence to a deer fence to protect the trees.
The team will then plant the trees with tree shelters and stakes in the strip to the south outside the deer fence. This work will take place over a couple weeks. Access to the reservoir for recreational purposes should not be affected and we will exclude the existing access routes from planting.
Do let us know if you have any questions about the Cocksburn scheme, and come along to the Edinburgh University event on November the 22nd.
