Time is running out to give "Your View" in the 2022 Stirling Council Residents' Survey.
The Survey gives people living locally the chance to have their say on satisfaction levels with the Council and its services, following on from the last poll in 2019.
Hundreds of residents have already had their say but with the survey set to close on Wednesday 19 October, there's just over one week left to give your view of key services like roads, waste and education.
Stirling Council Leader, Cllr Chris Kane, said: "The response numbers have been great so far but there are communities out there who have yet to have their say.
"We know a lot has changed in the past three years and we need to know what we're doing well and what we need to improve, so I'd encourage everybody to take a few minutes and tell us what you think.
"It's important we capture the thoughts of as many people as possible so we can understand the varying demands across our diverse communities."
The survey is open to every Council resident, as well as those who work or study in the Stirling Council area.

School feeding charity Mary's Meals is appealing for volunteers |
|||||||
|
People in Stirlingshire can help to feed hungry children living in the world's poorest countries by becoming a Mary's Meals volunteer. The charity, which feeds more than two million children every school day, is looking for volunteers to help raise awareness of its work in the local community. This could include giving talks in schools and churches; holding screening events for Mary's Meals' inspiring films; or helping to organise fundraising events. Emma Hutton, head of grassroots engagement at Mary's Meals, said: "We simply couldn't feed two million children every school day without our wonderful volunteers. They are at the very heart of our work. "We would love to welcome more volunteers from Stirlingshire into our Mary's Meals family, so that we can keep reaching the little ones who rely on our life-changing meals. We have lots of exciting opportunities and provide training and support throughout." Mary's Meals serves a daily meal to children every school day in 20 of the world's poorest countries, including Ethiopia, Haiti, Malawi, Liberia, South Sudan, Zambia and Yemen. The promise of a nutritious meal attracts hungry children into the classroom, where they can gain an education and hope for a brighter future. The charity's work is only possible because of many dedicated volunteers across the globe – from the people in the UK who raise awareness, to those who cook Mary's Meals for the children in their community. Bertha, 11, loves learning. The nutritious mug of porridge she receives at her school in Zambia allows her to concentrate in class and work towards her dream of becoming a teacher. Bertha says: "I get to school at 9am and wait for the porridge. I love going to school because this is where I'm learning how to read and write. "I admire my teachers so when I grow up and finish school, I would like to become a teacher." For more information about volunteering with Mary's Meals, please visit marysmeals.org.uk/volunteer or freephone 0800 698 1212.

Commissions Welcome
Mo-lawn started in 1991 and from 1999 have been growing and selling plants from Stockbridge, Dunblane. The company has expanded over the past 30 years, not only selling bedding plants, shrubs and trees but also undertaking landscape contracting and garden maintenance. During Covid we were able to bring two local businesses to the Stockbridge site. James’ speciality coffee bar offers freshly made coffee, bagels and breakfast while Mangiamo provides delicious pizzas. We are thrilled and very grateful to our customers for their support which has enabled these businesses to flourish. Our home at Stockbridge is now becoming too confined. Working with the local Kippendavie Estates we are considering a new site north of Queen Victoria School at Lady’s Mount for a new Garden Centre and restaurant. We would keep our plant cultivation and landscape business at the current Stockbridge site. The Lady’s Mount site would also give the opportunity to provide other services requested by our customers including electric vehicle charging, car share space and a local parcel distribution hub to help consolidate deliveries and deal with cardboard and recycling. The opportunity could also exist for a local petrol station with suitably priced fuel.

As so many of our customers like to walk to and from the nursery (working with Kippendavie) we are keen to extend the Sheriffmuir heritage trail to include a viewpoint from Lady’s Mount. As a local business we also see Lady’s Mount as having the potential to showcase Dunblane through suitable waymarking and marketing local businesses, building events. We are very keen to engage with the local community and keep them informed as to the status of the proposal. To achieve this, we will upload the plans onto our website and run consolidation events into the new year. We welcome any views, comment or ideas and would be happy to address any concerns. The Proposal Garden Centre- Offering a wide variety of plants, trees, shrubs, bedding plants etc. The centre shop will also include a workshop for crafts and stock food from local traders. Restaurant- Predominantly serving locally sourced food & drink. Play Area- Both indoor and outdoor family play areas to keep the kids entertained no matter the weather. Local History Information Centre- Highlighting and celebrating the local history of Dunblane, Sheriffmuir and the surrounding area. Fuel Station- Providing the local community with suitably priced petrol, diesel and electric vehicle charging stations. Parcel Distribution Hub- A centralised hub accepting deliveries from the parcel companies. This allows the local community to have a one-stop-shop to have their parcels delivered or collected regardless of who the carrier is through a variety of zero carbon delivery options that could create local business opportunities.

Dunblane and District Garden Club
In common with many other organisations, Dunblane and District Garden Club was forced into dormancy when covid 19 lockdowns happened. Now the current organisers wish to step down feeling it is time for change. Are you someone who would like to play a part in nurturing the club back to growth?
