Stirling Council is proposing two new pedestrian crossings for Dunblane and is seeking feedback by the 22nd August. The first is a zebra crossing to go in across Doune Road just downhill from the junction with Wallace Road. The second was requested by the community to cross Springfield Terrace at the opposite end of "Tesco's" car park from the present zebra crossing. Utility considerations prevent the installation of a zebra crossing here so an uncontrolled crossing is proposed instead - a narrowing of the road with ramps and road markings.
Concultation on the route of a proposed cycle path from Bridge of Allan to Dunblane has been launched

Stirling Council will spend seven weeks - from 6th February to 28 March 2025 - replacing 28 street lighting columns along the B8033 dual carriageway between Four Ways roundabout and Duckburn Industrial Estate. This is due to corrosion issues with the columns and deterioration of underground cables. The columns have a manufacturer design lifespan of 35 years.
Dunblane Community Council heard on the 5th of February from leaders of Vaison around a proposal to forge links with Dunblane. It's hoped that if this comes to fruition, young people from both towns will be able to conduct exchange visits. Vaison has a number of linkages with Dunblane including a bishop of Dunblane who moved to take up his next post in Vaison. We also both share a strong heritage of Roman remains with Dunblane's Roman fort remains found in Barbush where soldiers were on their way to the fort at Braco. Vaison is a vibrant town with a roman ampitheatre and an outdoor music festival featuring their local people's choir. More detail will be shared here as the discussions progress.
