The Drying Green Stayed Dry and a good sized crowd enjoyed the action by the river. We were entertained in one marquee with Dunblane High School Trad Group and Monument Performing Arts and by choirs in the other. The High Street had Highland Dancers, Pipers and various other acts. The stalls were doing a thriving trade with food, arts and crafts all on sale. There was even a sword fencing display. |

TSB and its customers in Dunblane have raised £161 for The Dunblane Centre, by holding a 'Name the Famous Couples' Quiz in April. The Dunblane Centre was chosen as the Bank’s first Local Charity Partner.
Instead of having a centrally chosen Charity of the Year, TSB Partners across Britain are empowered to recognise local causes which share the Bank’s passion for helping local communities thrive. The Dunblane Centre was nominated for the work it does in the local community and will benefit from fundraising activities by TSB Partners working in the area throughout 2015.
Catherine Gunn, Bank Manger at TSB Dunblane, said 'The Dunblane Centre is a vital part of our local community and we are really proud to have them as our Local Charity Partner.'
Stewart Prodger, Trustee for The Dunblane Centre, said 'We are hugely grateful to TSB Dunblane for the money they are raising in 2015. Having major businesses like TSB supporting us locally is a great way of making our community stronger.'
Notes to editors: As well as applications from charities and community enterprises, TSB Partners and the public were able to make their own nominations of local causes to include in the process. Each nomination which met the eligibility criteria was entered into a random draw and given a fair chance of being selected.

Stirling Road "Access for all" project
The Allan Water bridge reconstruction nears completion.
Work then begins on the street layout along Beech Rd, Stirling Rd and the junctions with Perth Rd. It is anticipated that this project will commence in June and last for 6 months. While the bridge will re-open to vehicles, some traffic restrictions will remain in force during this period; details to follow.
Project Background
In Early 2014, Stirling Council obtained funding from the sustainable transport charity SUSTRANS to improve the street layout on Beech and Stirling Roads. Since then they have been working with local residents, your Community Council, Dunblane Development Trust and Discover Dunblane to make the area more pedestrian and cyclist friendly. There has also been a focus on the needs of those with mobility difficulties, and vehicular access for station users, businesses and local residents.
A public consultation on concept plans took place in November/December 2014. Many of the comments received reflected a desire to get an environment that works well for all and been used by the Project Steering Group to finalise the plans.
