Community vision – the future

A clear vision for Callander’s future emerged from our community consultations. Proposed solutions are outlined below.

Discussions have begun with LLTTNP and Stirling Council about the major capital projects proposed by the community. A structure has been agreed for signing off local authority decisions at the highest level, and local stakeholders can participate in discussions through Callander Community Partnership.

Some of the proposals can be addressed immediately; some, will take months or years to come to fruition. A separate delivery plan has been prepared that sets out an ideal timeline through the next decade.

This Place Plan sets out Callander’s priorities and groups them into the following nine themes:

Each theme identifies the existing issues and sets out the community’s solution to the problems.

Although the intended focus of a Place Plan is hyper-local, many of the problems that exist in Callander are shared with our Trossachs neighbours. Some of the proposals in our Place Plan address these common problems by acknowledging Callander’s role as a rural hub for education, retail, tourism, and transport.
