Calling all cycling

A public hearing will be held on
Tuesday 25 April 2017 at 1400 in the Cathedral Halls? This is about
Allanwater Development’s attempts to build on the top of Holmehill.

For more detail :

On 2nd March 2017 Stirling Council’s Local Review Body rejected Allanwater Developments’ two appeals against the Council’s Planners. Allanwater had put forward two plans for the same spot on the top of Holmehill: one for a luxury private house and the other for an office block. These were originally rejected last year; yesterday the Council’s Local Review Body confirmed these rejections.
In presenting their decision, members of the LRB noted that planning decisions have to reflect the policies currently in force. This once again underlined two key points: firstly that although a mansion was demolished on the site 37 years ago, it would be wrong to build another today; and secondly that a planning agreement signed in 1987 is no longer relevant.

The club is delighted that the recent funding application to ClubSport Stirling has been successful. Here club members Ann Boyd, Oscar Wingate, Robert Signer, Colin Boyd, Susan Signer, Ian Wright and John Harrington receive a cheque for £1,500 from Liz Francis (ActiveStirling). The money will be used to buy Optimist dinghies to develop sail training for young people in the local area and will be a valuable addition to the club’s fleet of training boats.
Stirling Council has agreed to hand over ownership of the Braeport Community Centre to the Development Trust.
We have run the centre for over 10 years, ensuring the provision of a welcoming and affordable space for many community activities. Community ownership will allow us to proceed with some important planned improvements using funding sources not
previously open to us.
We have already received £93,000 from the Climate Challenge Fund to upgrade the building’s insulation, including window replacement. What next? Well, we want to offer the facilities that you need. Current ideas include drop-in office space for people working from home and improved services for older people in Dunblane.
What other gaps in community services should
an upgraded centre provide? Give us your views:
