Community Council

Arnprior has a community council (ACC) which meets six times a year and is part of the Area 2 (Rural South West) Forum of community councils set up by Stirling Council to facilitate community planning. This page covers meeting dates, how to contact various councillors, links to minutes and other information and a note of current consultations. The Roads and Village page contains information about live planning issues and general activity concerning the village.

All regular meetings of the Forum are held at Balfron Campus, 7pm. The dates for 2009 were all on Mondays: 23 February, 1 June, 14 September and 23 November. However, the November meeting has been cancelled which means the next one will be 22 February 2010.

Minutes are posted on the Stirling Council website.

The community council meetings are normally held in Arnprior Nursery on Tuesdays at 7.30 pm.

Want to speak to your local Stirling Councillors about Council issues? Go along to the local surgery at Arnprior Nursery - no appointment necessary - at 7pm before our regular Community Council meetings. Your Councillors are: Graham Lambie, Colin O'Brien and Alistair Berrill.

The Community Plan was developed in 2007 and needs an update. Perhaps the priorities have changed - see the current version.

Names and contact details of the Arnprior Community Councillors are on the Stirling Council website. There are 3 vacancies which could be filled through special elections in 2010. Please contact the chairman if you want to know more.

Stirling Council's Planning Panel has refused permission for Npower Renewables Limited to build a wind farm at Ballindalloch Muir near Balfron. The Panel agreed to refuse the application because of the environmental and visual impact the huge turbines would have on Stirling's outstanding landscape. The Council received 115 letters in support and 428 letters objecting to the proposals (including those from seven community councils). For more information go to latest news.

Do you use public transport? Perhaps you have thought about it but found the service doesn't suit your needs. Then you should complete the online survey organised by the Stirling Community Planning Partnership. Young people should use this link. Paper copies of the questionnaire will soon be available at the Nursery. The survey will close at the end of January. Don't miss this opportunity for all age groups to have an input.
