Parking management around Cornton Vale Prison

Parking management around Cornton Vale Prison

We have been made aware in recent months of disruption to traffic cause by cars parking in the vicinity of the prison.
 
Stirling council have let us know that a temporary traffic regulation order (TTRO) to allow the installation of double yellow lines will come into force on 22nd January 2024. The Council’s lining contractor has confirmed that, weather permitting, the double yellow lines will be marked by this date.
 
Thanks to everyone who has been in touch about this and our elected members who have been working on the solution. We hope this resolves the traffic issues in this area.
