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.
Survey Link: https://engage.stirling.gov.uk/en-GB/folders/walk-cycle-live-stirling (Open until 31st August 2025)

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 have received this notification of M9 closures in the week of March 10 to 14th:
BEAR Scotland, acting on behalf of Transport Scotland, is planning to carry out Bridge Joint Replacements at the Structure M9 10-11 65 Knockhill which carries the M9. The joint replacements will require phased road and lane closures in each direction to facilitate the works.
The works have been programmed to start on Monday the 10th of March for a duration of 5 nights between the hours of 20:30 and 06:00 each night.
The M9 Northbound will be closed between junctions 9 and 11 on 10th and 11th of March. The M9 Southbound will be closed between junctions 11 and 9 from the 12th to 14th of March.
The southbound M9 between junctions 10 and 9 will also be reduced to one lane on the 11th March, to allow works to be undertaken on the central reserve.
To ensure the safety of the workforce and members of the travelling public it is necessary to implement road and lane closures during the works.
The diversion route for both north and south bound traffic on the M9 will be signposted between Junctions 9 and 11, via the A91 and A9. This diversion will add approximately 17 minutes and 8.5 miles onto affected journeys.
A location plan showing this diversion route is within the attached document from BEAR: M9 Junctions 9 – 11 – Overnight Bridge joint Replacements
