Recent Successes & New Initiatives (DCC & Partners)

Transport - A 40mph speed limit is to be imposed on the road to Kinbuck.  Street furniture is to be introduced in Ramoyle to reduce in appropriate access.  Non compliant cycle lanes have been removed from between Claredon roundabout and Four Ways roundabout.  

Economy - The community is now well positioned to secure financial benefit from the  Windburn2 wind farm  and likewise SSEN's new Cambushinnie substation. 

Community - Creative Dunblane in the Burgh Chambers is pressing ahead with a market test of its Co-worker concept.  One of the upstairs rooms is being refurbished prior to launch.  Debate continues with Stirling Council on its Common Good Fund which continues to exclude the Burgh Chambers and Victoria Hall.

Environment - SEPA is updating its list of "Potentially Vulnerable Areas" (to flooding). The community is being asked by DCC to identify such areas (with supporting photos and videos where possible) so that these can be added to DCC's response to SEPA's consultation.  SSEN is now planning substation upgrade work in Millrow which may have environmental impact.

Housing - A list of proposed planning gain (eg paths and cycle lanes) is being evaluated following Dandara's submission of a plan for Dunblane.  Dialogue between Stirling Council and developers is not particularly transparent so a Freedom of Information request may be raised by DCC.

Our Approach

Dunblane Community Council starts by finding out the views of the community.  This is done by surveys, a presence at events such as the fling, ongoing receipt of emails and facebook posts.

We establish and maintain partnerships with organisations throughout Dunblane and beyond.  These include Dunblane Development Trust, the schools and Stirling Council.  As well as hearing their views we acertain their capability to help us deliver our plan.

We develop, maintain and deliver (in conjunction with our partners) a plan for the local community
