PYLON THE POUNDS AT RACE NIGHT

A group of Stirling Tories attended a "Race Night" held at Stirling Rugby Club organised by the Stirling Before Pylons campaign.Significant funds were raised at the event in order to help pay for the legal costs of fighting the proposed plans to place high voltage pylons from Denny to Beauly. An excellent night was had by all at what was a very well organised and well attended event. Our thanks go to the organisers of the event, and we continue to support them with their campaign and wish them every success. Click here to learn more about the Stirling Before Pylons Campaign.

ANYONE FOR TENNIS?

Probably not, as it is now October and the summer is clearly over! However, even more probably not given the state of the tennis courts at Keir Street (pictured left) which have been so badly maintained by the council. There is a long running history (almost 2 years) behind the state of these tennis courts. Whilst there were once 3 very useable courts, thanks to the council, there is now only 1 useable court. The useable and recently upgraded court is excellent, and receives plenty of use by the local community. But the neglect of the remaining courts leaves them all but useless. Yet again, evidence of Stirling council spending more of your money, but delivering fewer useable facilities.
