Road Works and Access to the Park - Update June 2026

Planned closure of Roman Road for 16 weeks
The road is now open over from Denny/Dunipace to the crossroads on the Roman Road down past the park and onto the village. Although closed for a couple of days last week, the road from Torwood through to the crossroads is now open too. The one fly in the ointment is now from the A872 along the Roman Road to the crossroads this has now been closed for a week for putting in services and there is a sign up saying it will be closed for 16 weeks

Really unusual and very cute

We wanted to share this gorgeous photo of a partially leucistic young red squirrel, taken by Anne Marie Dougan in the highlands, isn't it beautiful! Our team had never seen an individual with such striking markings before.

Thank you to Anne Marie for allowing us to post it.

Have your say

💬 Residents, community groups and other key stakeholders are being asked for their feedback on another key part of Stirling’s Local Development Plan (LDP) as it continues to take shape.

This part of the consultation will gather people’s views on the plan’s spatial strategy and the site options that are currently being considered for inclusion.

The spatial strategy will dictate where and how growth, development and land-use change will happen in the Stirling Council area (except Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park), directing investment and housing to the most appropriate locations.

The site options shown in this round of the consultation come from two places:

👉 Sites submitted by landowners and developers during the Call for Sites, which ran from August to October 2025.

👉 Sites already identified for development in the current Stirling Local Development Plan that have not yet started and therefore need to be reassessed to decide whether they should be included in the next plan.

A number of drop-in events have been arranged to support this part of the consultation:

➡ Blairlogie – Wednesday 27 May (1-6pm) in Blairlogie Reading Room
➡ Gargunnock – Thursday 28 May (2-6.30pm) in Gargunnock Community Centre
➡ Plean, including Bannockburn and Cowie – Tuesday 2 June (11am-3pm) in Balfour Community Centre
