Our Bridge of Allan Local Place Plan helps us express our aspirations for the community we live in and is used to influence local planning policy set by Stirling Council through the Local Development Plan (LDP).
The Local Place Plan prepared by volunteers on the Community Council is now available to download from this link.
Bridge of Allan Community Council wants to take this opportunity to thank the community, and community organisations, who have participated in the development process for this Local Place Plan over the last 18 months. In particular we want to thank Discover Bridge of Allan, our local Development Trust, who we have worked jointly with on the community engagement which informs this plan and the local Community Action Plan.
We believe this ‘Our Bridge of Allan’ plan reflects the views and opinions shared by the community of Bridge of Allan during a range of engagement exercises, and recognise that the plan only exists thanks to the commitment and passion of those who live, work in, or visit, Bridge of Allan.
This Local Place Plan was developed by a small sub group of Community Council members and board members from Discover Bridge of Allan. This group dedicated themselves to the creation of a focused plan which reflects community aspiration, an exercise which has run for more than a year and required a significant time commitment.
The plan has been developed wholly by volunteers with no external funding or technical support, and is a huge credit to those volunteers.

We have received this communication from Stirling Council:
Stirling Council are reviewing how parking works across our area to make sure it supports residents, businesses, and visitors while encouraging more sustainable ways to travel. The Community Parking Management Plans consultation is your opportunity to share your views on how parking is provided, managed, and priced.
Stirling Council would like your feedback on several key areas:
-
Parking prices – whether current charges are fair and how pricing could be used to balance demand and costs.
-
Availability of spaces – your experience finding parking in different areas and times, and whether supply meets local needs.
-
On-street or off-street parking – your preferences and how different types of parking affect convenience, safety, and local communities.
-
Encouraging alternative travel choices – what would help you use park and ride facilities, public transport, cycling, or walking more often.
-
Using parking resources efficiently – ideas for making better use of existing spaces, such as shared parking, smarter information, or improved signage.
Your input will help shape future parking plans and ensure that any changes reflect the priorities of the people who live, work, and travel here. You can take part in the consultation by clicking the link below:
Community Parking Management Consultation
The closing date to respond to the consultation is Sunday 10th May.
If you have any difficulties with the survey, or have any further questions, you can contact us at insights@stirling.gov.uk.
