  • Proposed Controlled Parking Zone - Dunblane
    THIS REPORT RELATES STIRLING COUNCIL TO ITEM 4 ON THE AGENDA REGULATORY FUNCTIONS PANEL ENVIRONMENT SERVICES 3 September 2008 NOT EXEMPT PROPOSED CONTROLLED PARKING ZONE - DUNBLANE 1 SUMMARY 1.1 Stirling Council’s Parking Strategy, approved in August 2005, identified Dunblane as the second priority, after Stirling City Centre, for the development of a local strategy to tackle the town’s parking problems. Local organisations have also contacted the Council in recent years, requesting that action be taken to resolve the parking situation and the problems these have created for the community of Dunblane. 1.2 Following representation from the local community, a Parking Working Group was set up in 2005. Representatives from local organisations and the four Councillors, who represent Dunblane, were invited to join the group. The Working Group has been successful in identifying the areas of concerns, areas where parking provision can be improved or increased, and the potential controls that are required to manage parking in the core town centre. 1.3 The Parking Working Group developed a parking strategy for Dunblane. This strategy proposes a range of interventions and initiatives, aimed at providing a balance of parking within Dunblane, for all users, whilst supporting the economic vibrancy of the town. Appendix 2 contains a copy of the Dunblane Parking Strategy. 1.4 A key element of the strategy is the introduction of a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) for the core centre of Dunblane. This CPZ enables the provision of parking to be controlled, permitting all-day parking on the periphery of the zone, with short-term parking in the centre.

  • ABOUT DUNBLANE Sitting to the North of Stirling on the A9, Dunblane Is One of Scotland’S Smallest Cities
    ABOUT DUNBLANE Sitting to the north of Stirling on the A9, Dunblane is one of Scotland’s smallest cities. Founded in 602 AD by Saint Blain, the city is rich in history and has been shaped by religion and politics since its inception. It was elected a city in 1500 by King James VI, and post-Reformation, became a weaving town of some repute. Its tartan is considered the most complicated of the district tartans. Dunblane has a historic charm in a sleepy setting; the River Allan runs through the city and architecture from the 17th and 18th centuries survives to this day. Its most famous building is Dunblane Cathedral, which was completed in the thirteenth century and restored in 1893 by Sir Robert Rowand Anderson. The building is now owned by Historic Scotland. Leighton Library, completed in 1688, is the oldest purpose built library in Scotland and visitors can examine some of Scotland’s rarest books. Dunblane is embroidered into Scotland’s history, but it is the future of tennis that it is becoming famous for, with Andrew and Jamie Murray hailing from the city. On the cusp of the Perthshire High-lands, Dunblane offers many scenic walks in unspoiled countryside and has plenty to enchant the visitor. DUNBLANE - HOW TO GET THERE? Dunblane provides easy access to all the central belt cities and the Highlands, by road, railway and 3 international airports, making it popular with commuters to Stirling, Edinburgh and Glasgow, London and abroad and a great base for tourists, including green travelers. Dunblane has a compact walkable heritage center of High Street, Cathedral, Museum, Leighton Library and attractive riverside parks.

  • Railway Upgrade Plan – Scotland
    Railway Upgrade Plan – Scotland 2017/18 Scotland Glossary Passenger satisfaction measure – How this is measured is determined by route, but is normally from the National Rail Passenger Survey conducted by Transport Focus. PPM – Public Performance Measure. This is the percentage of trains that arrive at their terminating station within five minutes (for commuter services) or ten minutes (for long distance services) of when they were due. Reduction in railway work complaints measure – We believe that the number of complaints that we receive from the public about our work could be reduced if we improve how we inform people about work due to take place, and ensure all our staff behave considerately towards those living and working close to the railway. Each route is therefore aiming to reduce the number of complaints it receives in the coming year. Right Time Departures – This measures the percentage of trains departing their station of origin on time or early. 88 Scotland Scotland 89 Scotland Introduction from the route infrastructure director – David Dickson Scotland is one of the most geographically diverse routes in the British network. Domestic and cross border services fulfil a variety of travel needs, from leisure and short distance to daily commuter services. Rail travel in Scotland is more popular than ever before, with more than 96 million journeys made last year. At the same time, Scotland’s railway is undergoing a period of enhancement and expansion unmatched since the Victorian era. Across the country huge investment is being made to deliver improved passenger facilities and introduce more new, faster, longer, and greener trains.

  • Abellio Scotrail Cycle Innovation Plan (CIP)
    Abellio ScotRail Cycle Innovation Plan (CIP) 1. Abellio’s Vision to cycling 1.1 Our approach to sustainable transport Abellio ScotRail will draw upon its world-class experience in the Netherlands to lay the foundation for a major shift in modal share away from cars and towards public transport, cycling and walking. During the period of the new ScotRail franchise we will target a 10% increase in sustainable access to and egress from the rail network. For this to be possible, customers and potential customers will have to be confident that the public transport network is well integrated and able to respond to their needs. Also cyclists must have confidence that their own bikes can be parked at a secure and convenient location or that they will be able to hire bikes to make onward journeys from their destination stations. Our duty to our customers will span the entire journey - from information about travel options, before and during a journey, through to the successful completion of onward connections, by whatever transport mode. Abellio’s integrated door-to-door products and services 1.2 Going Dutch in Scotland: our strategy to achieve the Scottish Government’s vision This Cycle Innovation Plan sets out how we will help bring about the ‘Scottish cycle revolution’. Our intention is to bring innovation to the relationship between the cycle and the railway; firstly, by increasing the priority given to cycles at stations and train; secondly, through the products and services that we can offer to cycle users and, thirdly, through the way that we communicate with our customers on cycling issues.
