Following detailed consideration of Stirling's Main Issues Report toward the Local Development Plan for 2012-2032, the Community Council proposes to make these comments in response. The comments are presently in draft, to be approved at the 2 August 2010 meeting of the Community Council. The same will be in paper copies at the Library. Proposed Community Council comments

The community council is made up of volunteer members of the community who are elected by the community.


Its primary aim is to express local views and opinion to Stirling Council on subjects such as planning applications/policies, the environment and roads.

The Strathblane community council covers Strathblane, Blanefield, Mugdock and nearby area. This community council Map from the Stirling Council Website shows the exact boundaries.

The community council meets at 7:30PM on the first Monday of every month except July in either the Primary School (during term time) or the Village Club outwith term time. Specific meeting details are given at the end of this page.

Apart from the community council members, there is usually a local councillor, a representative from the Police and other people who have a specific reason to be present. All members of the community are welcome to attend and there are always a few present at the meetings.

Members of the community are welcome to contact the community council on local issues and can do this by sending an email to cc@strathblanefield.org.uk, contacting any community council member, or even better by attending in person at one of the community council's meetings. Don't forget, though, that Stirling Council, the Police and other bodies have their own enquiry numbers, email addresses, websites and so on. For immediate action or answers to specific questions you are better contacting the council or other officers who can answer your question directly. The Community Council is of course interested to know if there are recurring problems, or any difficulty in getting a satisfactory response from the authorities.
