A Space for Living
Thanks to everyone who attended the community event in the McLintock Hall on 17th June, where the detailed design options for Buchanan Street North, Buchanan Street South and Station Road were presented. The design consultants will now review the feedback received and refine the options.
These plans are now available for further review and comment on the Balfron Active Places website, where you can also see the plans submitted for the Clachan and Printer’s Row.
Our next community event will be on Monday, 22nd July in the McLintock Hall (Lower Hall) from 3pm to 8pm. Design ideas will be presented for the whole village Active Travel Plan, and there will be a “Walk and Talk” session starting from the Hall at 4.00pm. More details on the event are available in our latest newsletter.

Go on....be a hen hero.
Rehoming date Saturday 27th July - collection point is Denny and Peebles.
All commercial laying hens are sent to slaughter at around 78 weeks of age unless they are lucky enough to find themselves in crates bound for the British Hen Welfare Trust rather than a haulier's lorry bound for the processing plant.
Can you give a home and a new life to some ex battery hens?
Hens are easily looked after and are very entertaining to watch. They make great pets and each have their own personalities. It’s so rewarding seeing them transform into fully feathered healthy chooks 🐓 they also gift you delicious eggs🥚
They need some of us to do our bit and give them a chance to feel the fresh air on their backs and spread their wings for the first time.
To reserve some girls please register online at
support.bhwt.org.uk/RegisterAHen.aspx then call Hen Central on 01884 860084 to confirm details and offer them a lovely retirement in your garden 🐔

Not entirely appropriate for here, but as a hen owner I’m a soft touch...
