PYLON THE PRESSURE

Many of you will be aware of the proposals concerning the Denny to Beauly power line. For those of you who aren't, Scottish and Southern Electricity plan to install high voltage overhead powerlines across some of Scotland's most beautiful countryside, some in close proximity to homes in the Stirling area. As well as being a danger to the countryside, danger to the health of inhabitants in close proximity to the powerline is a very real concern. Alternatives, such as using underground cabling, must be fully examined and debated. If you would like to get involved then visit Stirling Before Pylons.

SIMPLY PARKING MAD!

Is it just me?...Or has anyone else noticed the sheer increase in the number of drivers who decide to completely ignore parking restrictions signified by two large yellow lines painted at the side of the roads? Kenilworth Road, Blairforkie Drive, Fountain Road, Well Road and Pullar Avenue are all areas where I often witness a blatant disregard for parking restrictions. The prime reason for two yellow painted lines at the side of the road are nothing to do with aesthetics, but plenty to do with safety. I only hope that drivers will take it upon themselves to heed the restrictions before any accidents occur. There again, many are aware that these restrictions are never enforced. So Stirling Council....Where are the traffic wardens when you need them?
