2025 - Local Place Plan

Key proposals are laid out below and the full plan is attached.  Confusingly, the term Local Development Plan is used at Local Authority level (Stirling), and Local Place Plan is used at community level (Dunblane). 

Role of Community Councils
Community Councils were set up as part of Local Government reorganisation in 1973

“to ascertain, co-ordinate and express to the local authorities for its area and to public authorities the views of the community which it represents in relation to matters for which those authorities are responsible” and “to take such action in the interests of that community as appears to it to be expedient and practicable”. 

This gives a great deal of scope for community councils to get involved in a variety of local issues: to develop local projects and activities (on their own or with others), and to represent community opinion to local authorities and public bodies. If there is a local issue which concerns you, you are welcome to come to our meetings or contact us to tell us your thoughts.

Background legislation
The general purpose of Community Councils is defined in the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 and in the Local Government etc (Scotland) Act 1994.

Constitutional issues
The model constitution and model code of conduct for Community Councils can be found on the community councils’ page on the Stirling Council website.
