About Us

The Community Council is a body consisting of local residents who meet on a monthly basis to discuss and progress issues affecting the life and future of the local community, and who represent the views and concerns of the residents of Balfron to Stirling Council and other relevant groups. We also have a role in planning and licensing issues as they affect Balfron.

We meet on the first Thursday of each month (except for July and January) at 19:30 in Balfron High School. Our AGM is held before the June meeting.  All who live, work or study within the Balfron catchment area  are welcome to attend any meeting.

There are two Community Council notice boards in the village – one outside Doyle’s café, and the other by the car park at the Co-Op. On these notice boards you’ll find the Minutes of the last meeting; the date, location and agenda for the next meeting; and other information affecting the community.
