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.
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.

What a great Gala/ Jubilee weekend. Congratulations to the organisers and all the helpers.
The scarecrow competition attracted the usual mix of bizarre and very bizarre!
Come and join the fun next weekend.
Unfortunately the South Common litter pick planned for Saturday 28th has had to be cancelled due to not getting equipment in time.
We hope to reschedule it for next month.
You may have noticed the weather and traffic monitors at the top of the Masonic Hall. This was erected as part of the Forth Valley and Lomond LEADER Smart Villages Project to provide useful data to communities.

You can join a Smart Village shared learning event which will tell us what is meant by a Smart Village, and introducing 3 pilot projects that are currently underway: Air Quality; Car Park Usage and Flood Monitoring Project; and Visitor Management.
Stirling Council granted us an extension to submit responses to this complex planning proposal. However, the deadline has now passed.
I would like to thank everyone who took time to contact the council with your views. Amazing community spirit 👏 👏 👏
From Councillor Martin Earl
Dear All,
I am advising both Community Councils of the outcome of the Planning Hearing to determine the Shelloch Windfarm application that took place yesterday.
The application was approved by the planning panel. Their meetings are held online via MS teams. I have attached a copy of the report to committee by the planning officer and a copy of my presentation for your information.
I am extremely disappointed not only in the outcome but also the process that took place that to my mind impedes good quality presentations by those wanting to raise objections or concerns – external input is only allowed by phone call so one cannot present graphics and has to read out a submission.
