The PBB has identified 3 core budget categories for each council service – A. Transformation Options. B. Efficiency Options C. Stop/Reduce Options. The latter category, arguably contains many of the more unpalatable option a number of which could have more impact on rural communities than urban. These include – Fintry Nursery Closure, Withdraw Specialist Teachers (Music), Reduce Grey Bin Collection to 4 weekly, Introduction of Charge for Brown Bin Collection, Introduction of Road End Bin Collections, Stop Treatment of Invasive Plant Species, Reduce Frequency of Grass Cutting, Reduction of supported bus service budget by 50%, Increase Council Tax on Long-Term Unoccupied properties etc. Community Engagement: There have a series of meeting throughout the Stirling Council area including a well-attended one at Balfron High on 2nd December. There is also an online survey for residents and groups to express their views: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SC-PBB-E The Priority Based Budgeting page on the Stirling Council website can be found by typing into Google - stirling council working together or there is a link on the council home page. The draft PBB report can be downloaded from the website.

Cultural Influences And Perception page 42 Title page photographs, clockwise from top left Loch Katrine from Ben A'an © Lorne Gill/NatureScot Mixed woodland near Aberfoyle © Lorne Gill/NatureScot Killin © George Logan/NatureScot The Inchcailloch ferry, Balmaha © Lorne Gill/NatureScot This document provides information on how the landscape of the local authority area has evolved. 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 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.
