Thanks to all those Dunblane people who participated in the online survey about the future of our town centre and/or attended the follow-up sessions in February
What did the survey show?
It seems that the priority areas from which clear immediate actions should be identified are:
- Balancing the accessibility needs of pedestrians, businesses and car users in the Town centre area
- Improving the Riverside area
- The future maintenance and development of public services/buildings, particularly with regard to public toilets
- Further investigation of future opportunities for use of space in and adjacent to the town centre

Dunblane Charrette Background
Designing the future of our Town Centre
Following the 4 day Charrette event in April 2015, a report and proposed action plan was produced. In January 2016 all people living or working in Dunblane were invited to provide their views on these action proposals through an online survey.

A spatial overview of Dunblane Town Centre
Yarra is a luxury self-catering cottage tucked at the end of a quiet road in the city of Dunblane in Central Scotland. Finished to a high standard, the cottage provides comfortable accommodation for 4 people. Yarra is the perfect refuge for relaxation, or a peaceful spot to inspire the soul. Wonderful walks right on your doorstep or alternatively the ideal base to explore further afield.

Stirling Road "Access for all" project
The Allan Water bridge reconstruction nears completion.
Work then begins on the street layout along Beech Rd, Stirling Rd and the junctions with Perth Rd. It is anticipated that this project will commence in June and last for 6 months. While the bridge will re-open to vehicles, some traffic restrictions will remain in force during this period; details to follow.
Project Background
In Early 2014, Stirling Council obtained funding from the sustainable transport charity SUSTRANS to improve the street layout on Beech and Stirling Roads. Since then they have been working with local residents, your Community Council, Dunblane Development Trust and Discover Dunblane to make the area more pedestrian and cyclist friendly. There has also been a focus on the needs of those with mobility difficulties, and vehicular access for station users, businesses and local residents.
A public consultation on concept plans took place in November/December 2014. Many of the comments received reflected a desire to get an environment that works well for all and been used by the Project Steering Group to finalise the plans.
