Consultation Opens On New Active Travel Corridors For South Stirling

Stirling Council has called on local communities to participate in the second stage of a public consultation regarding four proposed active travel routes for the south of Stirling city centre.

The project aims to significantly enhance connections between communities and the city centre, and link into existing infrastructure like the Walk, Cycle, Live Stirling network.

The high-quality travel corridors are proposed for sections on or near:

• Burghmuir Road

• The A9 in Bannockburn

• St Ninians Road

• Glasgow Road

All four proposed routes would converge at St. Ninians Roundabout.

The Scottish Government is funding the design and construction of the new active travel infrastructure through grant funding from its active and sustainable travel budget via Transport Scotland.

Feedback and Drop-in Sessions

The council is keen to ensure the proposed routes meet the specific needs of local communities. Residents, community groups, and other stakeholders can share their feedback and view graphics of how the proposed routes may look on the Engage Stirling website. A specific survey for children and young people has also been created on the Young Scot website.

Drop-in sessions have also been organised for local residents to find out more and provide feedback in person:

• Mayfield Community Centre: 10am – 1pm on Saturday, 1 November 2025

• Hillpark Community Centre: 4pm – 7pm on Thursday, 6 November 2025

All online surveys will close at midnight on Monday, 10 November 2025.

The South Stirling project supports the regional shift toward active travel, helping to deliver environmental, health, and social benefits. It also supports key local strategies, including the Climate and Nature Emergency Plan and the ongoing Local Development Plan.
