Information provided by members of the community and K Lilburn at our CC meeting on 29th January 2018 has been superseded by Ms Birrell the new Chief Executive Officer of Rural Stirling Housing Association in her email to the BCC dated 14th February 2018.
A Growth Project could take around 5 years from formal initiation of the growth project (by Scottish Water) but could be longer depending on approvals etc. We are therefore in discussion with Scottish Water about technical solutions that will allow us to build and connect the houses before the growth project is complete. Our initial discussions indicate that there is a likely solution that will allow us to connect the houses to Scottish Waters existing system, to Scottish Water and SEPA’s approval. We are working with Scottish Water on detailed technical assessments for this option. We will not be able to progress the detail of these until we have the confidence of having planning permission.
Forest Enterprise Scotland (FES) is urging visitors to Rowardennan Forest (East Loch Lomond) to stick to paths and follow good biosecurity practice outlined in the ‘Keep it Clean’ campaign.
The call comes as the FES team in the area prepares to carry out some felling and clearance work across seven hectares of the forest to combat an outbreak of tree disease, Phytophthora ramorum.
The work will take place in woodland near the Rowardennan Hotel, and adjacent to the Ben Lomond access path.
Update on the current position of Buchanan Primary School
The A905 Kerse Road will close for six months from April until the end of October 2018 while engineers demolish and replace the road bridge over the railway to the south of Stirling station. The new structure will deliver a significant increase in the width of the carriageway offering the potential for the council to add a third lane in the future to meet Stirling’s growing traffic needs.
The bridge work is part of a wider programme of improvements on the Stirling line ahead of the electrification of the route as part of a Scottish Government investment being delivered by Network Rail. Electrification of central Scotland’s rail network will reduce journey times to Glasgow and Edinburgh, increase capacity on peak services and provide longer, greener trains.
Network Rail have organised a series of series drop-in sessions are detailed below and people are invited to hear more about the project.

Concern was raised at the June meeting about what were considered to be the potential dangers resulting from the new cycle lanes in Milton of Buchanan. The Community Council brought these concerns to the attention of the relevant bodies such as Drymen Community Development Trust, Sustrans, Stirling Council and the National Park Authority, as a result of which dotted white lines have been laid in the centre of the road on the bends at either end of the village.
At present, Buchanan Community Council has two vacant seats and to achieve a better balance on the council we are looking to co-opt two people from local communities that are not represented or are under-represented. So if you are from Milton of Buchanan, Buchanan Smithy or Balmaha and the surrounding area, and are interested in becoming a Community Councillor please phone the Chair, Dave Morris on 01360 660632.
The COUNCIL made The Stirling Council (B837, Balmaha) (Temporary No Waiting at Any Time) Order 2017 under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (as amended) on 26-5-17

Information from Stirling Council's website following warning signs being given out in Drymen week beginning 27th April.
Stirling Council's Enforcement Officers have begun parking patrols across the Council area.
Following the discontinuation of the role of Traffic Warden in 2014, concerns have been raised over the increased indiscriminate and dangerous parking and the non-compliance with on street parking restrictions, and as a result, the Council took the decision to introduce Decriminalised Parking Enforcement (DPE) within the Council area.
The introduction of DPE will move responsibility for enforcing parking, waiting and loading restrictions from Police Scotland to Stirling Council. This means that Stirling Council's Enforcement Team will be able to issue Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) to any vehicle parked in contravention of parking restrictions, which will benefit all road users and pedestrians who are inconvenienced by indiscriminate parked vehicles, and allows the Council to better manage both on street and off street parking. There has been no change to the existing parking regulations so responsible drivers who park legally in accordance with the restrictions won't be affected.
Road resurfacing works will take place in Milton of Buchanan starting Monday 20th March. Due to the narrow road this will necessitate the road being closed for 2hr periods throughout the day with 1/2hour open times.
Please help by observing the road closure times. The one week inconvenience will be worthwhile in the long term.
