Bridge of Allan Community Council are Recruiting. We are looking for two new members to join the Community Council as co-opted members until full elections are held in 2023.
We have been actively working on many different community projects and initiatives, so it is more important than ever that all sections and voices of Bridge of Allan are represented on the Community Council. The role involves keeping up to date with community issues raised, working together to find solutions and helping communicate residents’ views to local organisation such as Stirling Council, Network Rail, developers and businesses. We have 10 meetings a year usually held at the Allan Centre, however at the moment these are held online using Zoom.
To see what we have been working on recently you can look at past meeting minutes and our Facebook page. To find out more about community councils and how they are run see here.
You can put yourself forward if you live in the Bridge of Allan area, are over 16, and are on the electoral register. To nominate yourself you should complete this Co-option Nomination form and return it to contact@ccbridgeofallan.org.uk by Monday 22nd March.
Successful Nominations will then be approved at our April meeting. Although there are only 2 spaces for Co-opted members on the Council, we can also appoint associate members who help us with specific issues such as planning applications, youth events or business for example. See more here about different types of membership.
E-Books from Stirling Council Libraries are moving to a new platform.
Access to digital e-books and audiobooks will switch from RBdigital to the Libby app on Tuesday 23 February, 2021.
Libby is a free, award-winning app where library members can continue to borrow and enjoy digital content from their public library.
Readers will still be able to access their current downloads on RBdigital for the length of the lending period for each title, even if that date goes past the switchover on 23 February.
However, after this point users will have to download and sign up to Libby to browse, borrow, and enjoy all the same great e-books and audiobooks which were available in the RBdigital app from Stirling Libraries.
There will be some downtime in the RB Digital app in the afternoon of the 23rd February during the switchover.
