Placecheck Feedback
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the placecheck map. 105 people made suggestions and there were 273 indications of support (or not). I’ve tallied all the comments up and have 2 sets of results to share with everyone.
The first set looks at suggestions that attracted the most support from contributors. A top ten list of suggestions that fall clearly within the scope of the Local Place Plan. I have identified supporting policies for each suggestion as evidence of the validity of the requests. These will be carried forward (unweighted) to the final Place Plan vote.
The second list looks at suggestions that fall within Stirling Council’s remit – things like crossings, maintenance of the areas they own, car parking and infrastructure such as paths and pavements. I will send this second list to the Community Council to forward to Stirling Council on the community’s behalf.
Please remember to take part in the Place Standard survey if you haven’t done so already.
The Place Standard carries significant weight with the Park – in other words they can’t ignore it! It closes on February 28th, but I might extend the deadline if the consultant carrying out the revised Callander South Masterplan includes significant changes to existing policies.
Thank you all again. It is heartening to know that people are willing to give up their time to make carefully considered suggestions for our town’s future.
