Stirling Council has announced work on a signal controlled crossing for the A84 trunk road is completed.

Council workers finished the majority of work in Doune at the end of July.

The final work on kerbing and the footway has now been completed by BEAR.

The work is due to the council's support for a long-running campaign to create a safe crossing point on the trunk road, to develop links between the village and nearby Wood of Doune.

The council, Sustrans Scotland and Transport Scotland shared the cost of installing the crossing, with Transport Scotland agreeing to take responsibility for ongoing maintenance.

James Innes, Chair of Kilmadock Community Council, said: "This crossing has been the culmination of many years lobbying by a number of people - the school, our councillors, politicians, a crossing group, and the Community Council. It is good to see Stirling Council, Sustrans and Transport Scotland come together to finally make this happen.

"I am sure this will greatly improve Safer Routes to School and be better for pedestrians and cyclists who wish to cross that busy road."
