Advice from Scottish Water on how to protect your pipes and prevent bursts.
The local authority has launched its annual round of public budget engagement, seeking opinions and feedback from residents through the Budget Conversation to understand the services that matter most to them. With no increase expected in Local Government core funding from the Scottish Government for the next three years, the Council now needs to find a way to bridge a gap which is almost double its annual roads and land services budget.
Join this year’s budget conversation by telling us what is important to you through our quick survey. We want as many people to take part so please spread the word about the survey in your community. The Conversation will close on Friday 16th December
Access the survey on Engage Stirling. You can also fill out the survey via Stirling Council Libraries or order a paper copy of the survey by calling our Customer First Contact Centre on 01786 404040. You can also request alternative formats by emailing research@stirling.gov.uk.
On Saturday 6 volunteers from the community met on the South Common to clear litter. We filled about 6 bagfuls which were uplifted by Stirling Council.
Some areas were overgrown so there could be even more litter lurking there. We hope to have another go later in the year.

The normal fee structure continues this year – one-off annual membership (£5) and a weekly £1 fee from attendees. We don’t wish this to be a barrier that prevents anyone from attending, so please just let us know if that causes a problem and we’ll be happy to waive it.
If anyone has any questions or concerns, please feel free to get in touch

Feedback from the traffic monitor mounted on the Masonic Hall shows that over 650,000 vehicles passed through the village between January and July this year.
The majority of the vehicles were cars and not surprisingly the numbers jumped up in June and July.
