Callander’s Local Place Plan 2022-2032

Upon publication, Callander Community Council and Callander Community Development Trust workshopped the first set of four priorities arising from the LPP. These were:

  1. Pedestrian Bridge.
    1. i. a) ”The construction of a pedestrian bridge over the Teith at the east end of town, along with fully accessible paths along the south of the river to the McLaren campus would allow Callander to become a 20-minute neighbourhood. Callander has been asking for a river crossing in this location since 2008 and the construction of the new primary school at the campus offers an opportunity to access the necessary funds.”

  2. Safe Routes to School.
    1. i. b) “It is unacceptable that the Creep footpath is inaccessible to wheelchairs and mobility scooters, baby buggies and cycles. It is a core footpath and, as such, should be fully accessible. It needs to be upgraded so that everyone who needs to use it can do so.”

  3. Regenerate Main Street.
    5. iii. “A Main Street regeneration group should be established to identify innovative uses for empty shops and encourage new, start-up traders onto the Main Street to diversify the products and services available.”

  4. Meadows Masterplan.
    2. i. “The community supports the commissioning of a design masterplan for the Meadows to create a sustainable and safe recreational space for residents and visitors. The masterplan should consider provision of all-weather viewpoint(s) and shelters, new public lavatories, a play park, recreational field, natural ponds, an outdoor gym, and upgraded footpaths and picnic areas. Importantly, natural flood mitigation measures should take priority over car parking.”
