Forth and Endrick News Tuesday, 19 June 2007 Councillor Graham Lambie Forth and Endrick Ward Stirling Council Forth and Endrick News - Strathblane - Monday, 5th August 2013 Arnprior Balfron Buchanan Buchlyvie Croftamie Drymen Fintry Gargunnock Killearn Kippen Strathblane Councillor Lambie Report • Roads Inspection Trip: I went on a round trip on 29th July around the Forth and Endrick ward and noted all of the recently completed works which looked good and I understand were completed ahead of schedule: A811 Arnprior - Surface Dress; A81 Dumgoyne - Surface Dress; A809 Croftamie – Resurface; A875 Boquhan – Resurface; B837 Milton of Buchanan - Surface Dress • Roads Projects 2013: I have asked for confirmation of the following projects scheduled for this year: A81 Strathblane (Glasgow Road) – Resurface (Aug 12th); A81 Duntreath (Up to Spadework Entrance) – Resurface; B8037 Kippen (Fore Road) – Resurface; B8034 Arnprior to Port of Menteith – Resurface; B822 Fintry (Clachan) - Footpath Reinstatement prior to Resurface in 2014; C22 Gargunnock Station Rd – Resurface. • Road Safety Mitigation Measures on Glasgow Rd: Brian Roberts and Alan Oglive have been contacted about any planned speed reduction measures on what will be perceived to be a much ‘faster’ stretch of road after the resurfacing. • Flood Points: On the above visit I noted two pretty significant flood points: A811 - Just before Ballat Junction coming from Stirling; B834 - Leading to Blane Bridge on Killearn side. These have been reported to the flooding officer Ian Young. (See Appendix 1) • Police: I have made my annual request to attend police patrols in the ward with PC McNally to look a range of issues including: speeding; camera safety van; house breaking/thefts; Ironworks operation on Loch Lomondside; impact of Police Scotland on the ward e.g. role of former Strathclyde traffic police. The request has also been copied to the new Callander Inspector Gerry McMenemy. • Contaminated Land: As this is now in the public domain it is appropriate for this to be highlighted in the newsletter. I’ve attached the council decision notice from the Environment & Housing Committee – Tuesday 25 June 2013 to this newsletter which is also available on the council website. According to the notice the October 10th Council ‘will consider a suitable loan scheme for the provision of financial assistance’ and a progress report will be presented to the committee in November. I’ve asked for confirmation of dates and times for the November meeting. (See Appendix 2) • Planning 1 - 13/00435/DOM 18 Campsie Dene Road: I have asked the Case Officer if the application can be referred to a planning panel or does the extension DOM indicate it is a house-holder application and delegated to officers. If it cannot be referred where is the relevant policy extract? • Planning 2 - 13/00214/PPP - Garden Cottage Auchineden: This was recommended for approval by the planning officer. The position of the Community Council was made very clear by John in a very professional response, which was of great help. Page 1 of 3 Councillor Graham Lambie Forth and Endrick Ward Stirling Council • Other Issues from the Village: • New Coop: I’ve bought several products from the shop and asked if there are plans to install any toilets. • Mugdock Country Park: There are plans to sell/develop the old/ruined castle. To date there has only been one interested party. We would be keen to know if the community have and ideas as to a good use of the building and site. • Bus Service Reductions: I have received a petition from Croftamie re. the reductions on the Balloch service and I have passed them on details about the petition panel process on the council website which also has a link to the Strathblane footpath/pavement petition. Appendix 1: Response from Officer re. Flooding These are not known to me and sound like roads drainage problems due to surface water problems. These would normally be attended to by the Roads Team for the area. I can pass on the information. When they are inspection there may be an issue with water flooding onto the road from adjacent land. This is something the Roads Team would also deal with under their authority from the Roads (Scotland) Act. I always take an interest in reported flood locations as you do not really know the source and cause until they are properly investigated. I will see that they are investigated. Ian Ian Young Team Leader Bridge & Flood Maintenance Environment Services Stirling Council Page 2 of 3 Councillor Graham Lambie Forth and Endrick Ward Stirling Council Appendix 2 Environment & Housing Committee – Tuesday 25 June 2013 Committee Decision(s) The Committee agreed to: 1. Provide financial assistance to affected landowners by way of a grant towards the cost of remediating their property; 2. Invite competitive tenders for the remediation works from suitable contractors to ensure best value; 3. Recommend to the October Council a suitable loan scheme for the provision of financial assistance to the affected landowners towards any remaining costs of remediation, after having received such grant as referred to in decision 1. 4. Adopt the policy statement ‘General Approach to Making Cost Recovery Decisions for the Remediation of Contaminated Land’ (Appendix 1 of the submitted report referred); 5. Receive a further report on progress at the November Environment & Housing Committee; 6. Lobby MSPs, MPs and MEPs on the:- i) potential waiving of all tax obligations related to the removal of contaminated land; and ii) legal reform to allow removal of remediated land from the contaminated land register 7. Determine as being contaminated, the 13 properties on the site of the former Blanefield Printworks in Strathblane, which meet the statutory definition for contaminated land, and enter details in a public register once a suitable remediation plan has been put in place and it is clear whether a remediated contaminated land site can be removed from the register.

It complements the Landscape Character Type descriptions of the 2019 dataset. The original character assessment reports, part of a series of 30, mostly for a local authority area, included a “Background Chapter” on the formation of the landscape. These documents have been revised because feedback said they are useful, despite the fact that other sources of information are now readily available on the internet, unlike in the 1990’s when the first versions were produced. The content of the chapters varied considerably between the reports, and it has been restructured into a more standard format: Introduction, Physical Influences and Human Influences for all areas; and Cultural Influences sections for the majority. Some content variation still remains as the documents have been revised rather than rewritten, The information has been updated with input from the relevant Local Authorities. The historic and cultural aspects have been reviewed and updated by Historic Environment Scotland. Gaps in information have been filled where possible.

  • NBG Report for KCC Meeting 20 Feb 2019 There Have Been No Changes
    NBG Report for KCC Meeting 20 Feb 2019 There have been no changes to the connectivity of premises in Killearn this month. However additional infrastructure work has been seen in various parts of the village. The Broadband Delivery Group that has morphed into the Broadband Delivery Forum met in January. This brought together representatives from about half the districts that have poor broadband across the county and who are either running a community project, or exploring the possibility of starting one. We learned that the current Gainshare programme will now run until Dec 2019 with access to about £20M additional funding. This may extend connections to about a further 10,000 premises across Scotland. The contracts for the R100 programme, that will continue the work, are still being negotiated and are not expected to be resolved until the end of Q2-2019. Consequently, there seems very little chance of work being completed by the desired end-date i.e. the life of the current Scottish Parliament, in 2021. It is thought that these connections will, in general, be FTTP. There will be an ‘Agreed Intervention’ element, running in parallel with the main R100 programme, to reach the most difficult locations. Areas served by a pre-existing independent development will still benefit from R100 programme, so choice will be made available to each premise, but this will also mean that ‘over-build’ is a distinct possibility. The Better Broadband Scheme has apparently been enhanced to include a 4G mobile-based installation with the supplier claiming the discount on your behalf. The GigaBit scheme has had its subsidies reduced (by 1/6 th ), but the ratio of residential premises to business premises required to be served by a project has improved (now 10:1).

  • Our Ref: BC/Lr
    Our ref: BC/lr Carol Beattie Chief Executive, Stirling Council 13 May 2019 Dear Chief Executive, Great Stirling Run Marathon I was disappointed to learn that the Great Stirling Run Marathon and the Great Stirling XCountry are now no longer to take place next year. I am surprised that organisers have stated that the reason for this is that it is no longer economically viable. The number of people that these events attract to our local area is of significant benefit to the types of businesses that we have in abundance in the Stirling area. I have spoken of the benefits of Stirling having an annual marathon in Parliament on many occasions. Given the importance of this event, not just to our local economy, but also to promoting a healthy lifestyle and physical activity, what work is Stirling Council undertaking to find what suitable alternatives may be available to Stirling, to reinstate an annual marathon to our area? I’m grateful for your assistance with this matter. Yours sincerely, Bruce Crawford MSP Member of the Scottish Parliament for the Stirling Constituency Scottish National Party (SNP) Bruce Crawford (SNP) MSP for Stirling constituency Unit 16, STEP, Stirling, FK7 7RP Telephone 01786 471899 Email: [email protected] Stirling Constituency covers: Aberfoyle, Arnprior, Ardeonaig, Balfron, Balquhidder,Bannockburn, Blanefield, Brig O’Turk, Buchlyvie, Balmaha, Callander, Cambusbarron, Cowie, Crianlarich, Croftamie, Deanston, Doune, Drymen, Fallin, Fintry, Gargunnock, Gartmore, Inversnaid, Killearn, Killin, Kinlochard, Kippen, Lochearnhead, Milton of Buchanan, Plean, Port of Menteith, Rowardennan, Stirling, Strathblane, Strathyre, Stronachlachar, Thornhill, Throsk, Tyndrum. .

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
