  • NBG Report for KCC Meeting 19 Apr 2017
    NBG Report for KCC Meeting 19 Apr 2017 Further progress! The new fibre cabinet at the Killearn exchange is now live, accepting orders, and some residents have already got the service installed and working. Speeds are reported to be as expected at 30Mbps or more. So if you live in “The Trees”, nearby, or in the centre of the village, you should be able to get “super-fast broadband! About 50% of postcodes in the village are now connected to one of the fibre cabinets. Status of your individual connectivity can be checked on either of the WhereandWhen pages of the BT Openreach or Digital Scotland websites or in the tables at the end of this report. This site is also showing a download of the exchange roll-out list, but as this is only at exchange level, it doesn’t help very much. NOTE: Remember the Digital Scotland “Better Broadband Scheme” provides a subsidy to establish a better connection using either satellite or wireless for those currently getting download speeds of less than 2Mbps. See the KCC website for specific links. Balfron has also got more cabinets with 85% of the village now showing as “Accepting Orders”. Strathblane/Blanefield is in a similar position with slightly over 85% of the village covered. Buchlyvie has nearly 90% showing as connected while Croftamie/Drymen is showing nearly 60% Accepting Orders. All this does have to be qualified though as many premises are on long lines, and whilst they will see a significant benefit in speed (double or better), they will not achieve “super-fast” speeds.

The plan revises and replaces our initial Community Action Plan which is now out of date. We have achieved some of the priorities in that Plan - such as: I Establishing the Buchanan Community Partnership I Creating a new playscape in Balmaha I Upgrading the Memorial Hall I Creating the Buchanan Voice local newsletter Some other priorities are carried forward, while a few new important issues have been identified to reflect the changes in our community over the last few years. The Plan summarises community views on I Buchanan now I The vision for its future I The issues that matter most and I Priorities for action The Plan makes a clear statement about the type of place Buchanan aims to be - and what needs to be done. This action plan has been coordinated with several other related plans and strategies that will affect the Buchanan area. Many of the outcomes of the East Loch Lomond Visitor Management Framework tie in closely with this Action Plan, as does the Drymen Community Action Plan. This plan was also used to inform the development of the National Park Local Plan.

  • Outdoor Drinking Byelaws – East Side of Loch Lomond
    THIS REPORT RELATES STIRLING COUNCIL TO ITEM 5 ON THE AGENDA STIRLING COUNCIL GOVERNANCE 22 APRIL 2010 NOT EXEMPT OUTDOOR DRINKING BYELAWS - EAST SIDE OF LOCH LOMOND PROPOSED EXTENSION AND REVISALS OF BYELAWS 1 SUMMARY 1.1 The Council has Byelaws prohibiting the drinking of alcohol in public places. The Byelaws came into force on 10 August 1998. Since that time the Byelaws have been extended to cover many towns and villages in the Council area. 1.2 Buchanan Community Council has expressed an interest in having the Byelaws extended to cover the east side of Loch Lomond. The proposed extension is shown outlined in orange on the two Plans attached to this Report (Appendix 4). The proposed extension runs from the outskirts of Drymen along the B837 to a point beyond Rowardennan Lodge and includes Buchanan Smithy, Milton of Buchanan, Buchanan Castle, Balmaha and Rowardennan. 1.3 It is also proposed to revise the terminology of the Byelaws. The purpose of the revisals is to reflect statutory changes in liquor licensing legislation. 1.4 If the Council agrees to extend and revise the Byelaws as proposed in this Report, these will need to be agreed by the Scottish Government and advertised to allow for objections or representations to be made. It will then be for the Scottish Ministers to decide whether or not to confirm the amendment to the Byelaws. 2 RECOMMENDATION(S) The Council is invited to:- 2.1 approve the proposed extension to the Byelaws to the area on the east side of Loch Lomond shown outlined in orange on the Plans attached to this
