Shape the Future of Balfron – We Need Your Help!
The Balfron Community Council is working on a “Local Place Plan” to submit to Stirling, which will help guide important decisions for our village over the next 10 years. This is a unique opportunity for everyone in our community to contribute and ensure that our future reflects what we truly need and desire. This project is open to everyone – regardless of age or background. Everyone’s input matters, and everyone has a stake in our shared future
We want to hear from you!

We would like to send out a huge thank you to all the villagers that have thus far contributed to the Balfron Local Place Plan. As you’ll see from the picture below, we are about mid-way through the process. We’ve gathered your initial thoughts and opinions about what you like in the village and what you would like to see changed in the village, via the Place Check Survey. That information was then analysed and gathered into four relevant themes, including:
· Facilities and Amenities, including work and local economy
· Housing
· Moving around
· Natural spaces, play and recreation
We’ve had two sessions, so far, gathering more opinions and ideas for the report writing to come, but we still need more voices! Please come along to one of the drop-in sessions that we have organised in January to discuss and ponder the maps and ideas for the village around these four themes. They will be held:
· Saturday, the 11th of January, from 10am to 12pm in the Balfron Library, and
· Saturday, the 18th of January, from 10am to 12pm in McLintock Hall
We would really appreciate your opinions in helping to decide what we want to see, as a village, in regards to Planning for the next 10 years.
