Members of the community will be able to find out more about the proposed introduction of parking restrictions via meetings at the Riverbank Centre, Monday 4th March, 3pm-7pm, and Victoria Hall, Dunblane, Tuesday 26th February, 2pm-8pm.
A public consultation was held last year, alongside an independent parking survey, to gather views on parking from across the community.
The consultation engaged with residents, businesses and key stakeholders to help inform Stirling’s Community Parking Management Plan and nearly 500 people voiced their opinion via an online questionnaire, raising issues such as commuter parking and lack of enforcement.
The Council then took these responses into account, together with the results of the independent parking survey, to help inform Community Parking Management Plans for Stirling City and Dunblane.
Proposals to deliver these CPMPs are now ready to be shared with the communities.
Convenor of the Environment and Housing Committee, Councillor Jim Thomson, said: “It is vital the community are involved in this process and we would encourage residents to come along and give their views.
“A well-managed parking and transport system is key for any successful city but a critical part of getting that right is being able to balance demand for parking without impacting on growth opportunities.”
The Council have contacted households that will be affected by the proposals and relevant Community Councils and community groups, as well as businesses, asking for their views on these proposals.
More details regarding the proposed waiting restrictions can be found on the Proposed Controlled Parking Zone plan (PDF).
The Dunblane webpage is up and can be found here:
Please note, green boxes highlight proposed waiting restrictions and red boxes are current waiting restrictions.
Vice convenor of Environment and Housing, Councillor Danny Gibson said: “It is also an important element of improving the environment and improving our sustainability by limiting congestion and pollution. We hope the people of Stirling feed into this process to give us their views.”
After gathering your feedback, the proposals will go before the Council's Environment and Housing Committee on 11th April 2019.
If the Committee decides to introduce the proposals, there will be further opportunity for the public to make comment during a statutory three week consultation on the Traffic Regulation Order that is required to implement the CPZ. This is likely to take place in Spring/Summer 2019.
