Stirling Council has now published a report summarising the findings of the Big Question survey regarding the future of the library service. The report is attached below.
Stirling Council will spend seven weeks - from 6th February to 28 March 2025 - replacing 28 street lighting columns along the B8033 dual carriageway between Four Ways roundabout and Duckburn Industrial Estate. This is due to corrosion issues with the columns and deterioration of underground cables. The columns have a manufacturer design lifespan of 35 years.
Dunblane Community Council heard on the 5th of February from leaders of Vaison around a proposal to forge links with Dunblane. It's hoped that if this comes to fruition, young people from both towns will be able to conduct exchange visits. Vaison has a number of linkages with Dunblane including a bishop of Dunblane who moved to take up his next post in Vaison. We also both share a strong heritage of Roman remains with Dunblane's Roman fort remains found in Barbush where soldiers were on their way to the fort at Braco. Vaison is a vibrant town with a roman ampitheatre and an outdoor music festival featuring their local people's choir. More detail will be shared here as the discussions progress.
Willow Boutique, based on Springfield Terrace, Dunblane is a haven for new baby gifts, wooden toys, nursery decor, womenswear, accessories and gifts for the home. We have recently introduced a Preloved section to our shop. If you have good quality clothing or accessories you no longer need, bring them in-store and I will sell them for you. Every purchase is beautifully gift wrapped in tissue paper, whether buying in-store or online, to make it that little bit special.

Dunblane's Common Good Assets as listed by Stirling Council include :
- The Laighhills Park including the Pavilion
- The Library
- The War Memorial and Bridge
- Ochlochy Park
The full list is here : https://www.stirling.gov.uk/council-and-committees/about-the-council/common-good/common-good-asset-register/#dunblane-assets-4
How does an asset qualify as common good? Full details are provided here : https://www.stirling.gov.uk/council-and-committees/about-the-council/common-good/administration-of-the-common-good-funds-by-stirling-council/
What does it mean to us? The assets will still be owned and managed by Stirling Council but will be administered by the Civic Panel of Stirling Council. There might be a suggestion that asset management is funded from the Common Good Fund, but the fund is only likely to contain additional cash when assets are disposed off.
Discussions are ongoing to clarify all of this, but the historic nature of the assets and legal complexities mean that these discussions will be challenging.
Here's an article from the Courier : https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/5104432/laighhills-public-park-dunblane-pavilion/
The first of several Zebra Crossings planned for Dunblane is now being installed in Doune Road. Another one the other side of Dunblane Primary on Old Doune Road is also planned for this month. Both of these were necessitated by a decision to no longer have lollipop personnell.
A third Zebra crossing is proposed for outside the Dunblane Centre but speed measurements will be made to validate the requirement for this.
