Callander Charrette
For the urgent attention of all residents of the Callander Community Council area.
It is hoped that you will now have heard some details about the Callander Charrette taking place later in November. There is a major article in the November Ben Ledi View, so please take time to read it when it is delivered this weekend (5th November. It is an exciting opportunity for everyone in the community to shape a vision for the future of Callander , and the plans to make it happen, including the next community action plan for 2012-17.
The charrette will take place over five days, from 19th to 23rd November, with public sessions that everyone is invited to attend, for as much or as little time as they can fit in.
Everyone’s opinions matter, and if you can complete the questionnaire on line it will help to gather the community’s thoughts on our town before the charrette gets going.
The attachment labelled ‘digital return’ can be completed on your PC and emailed back as an attachment, or alternatively you can print the other attachment and complete it by hand. Hard copies are also being made available throughout the town including at the National Park office, Post Office, shops, library and meetings of community groups. Your responses need to be returned by FRIDAY 11th November.
Drop them off at the National Park office, 52 Main Street, or email them to .
Please circulate the questionnaire as widely as you can to family, friends and neighbours so that everyone has a chance to get involved. Call people’s attention to the Ben Ledi View articles and to this website.
Many thanks for your contribution to the Callander Charrette and the next Callander community action plan.
