The Community Council is a statutory elected body which meets to consider issues of relevance to the whole community. It deals with planning applications, traffic and road safety, public amenities and matters brought to the Council's attention by residents. The Council represents the community in dealings with Stirling Council and the National Park authority. Meetings, which are open to the public, are held on the last Wednesday of the months of September, November, January, March and May with the Annual General Meeting held in June. The dates can be discretionary therefore if wishing to attend please contact a member of the Community Council in advance. Current minutes are displayed on the Notice Board of the Village Club.

Severe Weather - Community Emergency Plan. Stirling Council is encouraging communities to develop their own emergency plan during severe weather. A copy of our draft plan may be downloaded here.
Bus Services. Bus services to Gartmore will change on Monday 2nd April 2012. Aberfoyle Coaches have been awarded the council subsidised service for route C11 between Gartmore and Stirling, but the subsidised service between Gartmore and Balfron (with connections to Glasgow) will be withdrawn. This will result in an improved service to Stirling but a reduction in the service to Glasgow. The draft timetable is available here. Sunday services remain unchanged.
Broadband. The new Action Plan (to be published in early 2012) will identify dissatisfaction with broadband services as the second most important issue for residents. Stirling Council is conducting a broadband survey - if you haven't done so please complete this online at http://www.stirling.gov.uk/broadbandsurvey as soon as possible. Stirling Council will use the results to prioritise applications for government funding.
