GLASGOW CYCLE TIME TRIAL 2018 – Transport disruption for 8 August

| 30th July 2018

GLASGOW CYCLE TIME TRIAL 2018.

Transport Disruption information from Stirling Council

On Wednesday 8 August, there are two cycle time trials – the women’s race in the morning and the men’s race in the afternoon. The women’s route doesn’t enter the Stirling Council area but the men’s race, in the afternoon, carries on up the A81 and into the Stirling Council area as far as Strathblane and then turns right onto the A891 in the direction of Lennoxtown.
Closure of the A81 north of Milngavie will start around 09:00 and will be lifted from around 17:00 onwards.
The timing of the closure has huge implications for public transport. During the closure, buses operating between Balfron and Milngavie will have to divert via the B834, A809, B8050 and B8030, missing out the south end of Killearn and the villages of Blanefield and Strathblane. To maintain a service to these communities, Stirling Council is providing a shuttle service conveying passengers between Strathblane, Blanefield and Killearn, to connect there with the diverted service buses.
Buses will terminate at Milngavie Station. Passengers to and from Glasgow will have to change to and from trains at Milngavie Station, as roads between there and Glasgow are closed for a much longer period.
Our website has a poster explaining the shuttle service and a copy of the official route map.
If you need any information direct from the event organisers (Glasgow City Council), the contact details are: e-mail GetReadyGlasgow@glasgow.gov.uk , tel. 0141-287 1118.

Review of Community Councils – have your say

| 10th November 2017

Stirling Council is reviewing the way community councils operate. Please get involved and provide input. It is an important opportunity for the community to renew and revise how community councils work. If Strathblane community council is to continue after the next elections in Sept 2018, several new members will need to stand to replace retiring members. This consultation is a key opportunity to think about the whole scheme of community councils, and influence the scheme in which the newly elected CC members will work.

The areas which are being considered as part of the first consultation phase would cover:-

  • Community Council boundaries;
  • representation, including seeking ways to involve a wider age demographic;
  • improving communication between Community Councils and other community groups and organisations;
  • strengthening the Code of Conduct;
  • how any complaints about Community Councils are best addressed; and
  • resources and support to Community Councils.

Stirling Council have issued a survey as the first part of this review, and will end on the 29th November 2017. Views will be fed into a report to identify themes and ideas for further investigation and exploration in the second phase of the review.

Survey

If you need this survey as a paper copy or in any other format, please contact us on 01786 233076 or email

You can also write to them at-
Community Councils Review,
Democratic Services, Stirling Council, Room 53, Old Viewforth, Stirling, FK8 2ET

or email in your comments.
