BUS SERVICE CHANGES PROPOSED FROM OCTOBER
With spectacularly short notice, we are informed of a drop-in session at Balfron tonight (WED 21/8), about proposed changes to the bus services. See below for details.
(and yes also today is the drop-in session in Killearn about the Killearn Hospital site - drop-in sessions seem to be like buses...)
First Midland Bluebird has notified Stirling Council of proposals to change services B10, B12 and C11 and have requested that Stirling Council consults with local members and community councils on their behalf.
It is proposed that any changes would be introduced on Monday 21 October 2019.
Any comments on these proposals can be sent to carberryc@stirling.gov.uk by 1700h on Tuesday 27 August 2019 and will be shared with First prior to any changes being finalised.
An informal drop-in session will be held in the John McLintock Halls, Dumore Street, Balfron , Glasgow G63 0TX on Wednesday 21 August between 1915h and 2115h where there will be an opportunity to discuss with representatives from First Midland Bluebird and Stirling Council and share your views on the proposals.

As an update from Friday's post, we have confirmed that the win at the Court of Session only means Gladman's appeal
has to be decided again. It does not mean they will be any more successful second time around.

Gladman WIN at Court of Session
What feels like ages ago Gladman Developments applied to build houses in the field on Campsie Road, and to bump the proposed cemetery extension further away from the village. The planning application was rejected; an appeal to the Scottish Ministers was rejected, BUT Gladman made an appeal to the Court of Session, whose decision was issued earlier today.
The Court of Session has just quashed the appeal decision, raising the prospect that the development will go ahead.
