News on Raploch Street Design

This Friday the 12th of April is the last chance to comment on the design proposals for Raploch Road and north Drip Road. You can do this in our website https://raploch.commonplace.is/overview or you can join our final drop-in session this Friday:

What: Design Feedback Drop-in

Where: Raploch Community Campus, near the reception

When: Friday 12th of April, 10:30 till 12:30

If you can’t make this time, you can still go to the campus before this Friday, where the designs will be displayed near the reception. You can then fill in a questionnaire with your feedback and leave it in a ballot box, which is below the designs, or just insert any comments and questions in the box.

If you would like to get in touch directly with comments about the design, please email Irene at Irene.tortajada@sustrans.org.uk

We have started analysing the feedback we have gathered. Over 150 people have commented on the designs, and over 600 people have either seen the designs online or attended one of our design feedback events. In total, our websites have had almost 2,300 visitors since the project launch in September, which we are really proud of as Raploch has a population of 3,150!

It is a big task to summarise all of the findings and feedback we’ve gathered and turn them into changes in the design proposals, so we will spend the next few weeks doing this.

June events

After this, we will start planning the last Raploch Street Design events, which will likely take place at the start of June. In these events we will show you the designs changed according to your comments, and will celebrate the project with plenty of food and fun activities. We will also showcase some of the temporary changes we would like to add to the Huntley Crescent corner with Raploch Road, following your suggestions.

It is a while until our next event, so why not find some new cycling routes in the meantime? Are you looking for some company for your next bike ride? Then you can join the fun and free led group bike rides ‘Stirling Social Rides’ run on Saturday and Sunday.

It is a brilliant way to meet new people and explore new places and routes in Stirling in a friendly and informal setting.

Stirling Social Rides are led by trained Sustrans volunteers and are supported by Stirling Active Travel Hub. It is an easy pace to suit the group and no one will be left behind. Where possible, the rides will include a stop for coffee and chat on the route.

Rides will take about 3 hours, including a coffee break. All rides leave from The Peak Sports Village, Forthside Way, Stirling at 10.30am and are designed for adults 16+.
