Unfortunatly we didn’t have sufficient numbers of people nominate themselves to form a Community Council
If you value the work of a Community Council and would like to see it back up and running in Bridge of Allan please put yourself forward when the next opportunity arises. Everyone has a valuable skill or perspective they can offer to the team to work together to make Bridge of Allan a better place to live, work or visit.
