Callander meadows is a very popular starting & finishing point for kayakers and canoeists. Many Scottish (and further afield) canoe clubs travel here to access the excellent stretch of river which is ideal for those learning white water skills and enjoying this beautiful river. Our local Stirling & Falkirk club comes throughout the summer with families on Weds evenings. Most arrive by car and sometimes the groups can be quite large. Parking needs to accommodate this.

There used to be a culvert traversing underneath the campervan parking (before the parking is a thing) that drains water from the meadow back into the river. He was not 100% sure how it went defunct, but one possibility he said was the construction of the parking crushed the drains

Suggestion to retain some campervan parking by the Meadows since it is more attractive for campers - Either make the existing campervan parking to standard & nicer and more integrated to the surrounding landscape visually, or maybe move the campervan parking to where some of the proposed motorcycle & vehicular parking is located at the back of the amenity grass

Management of people already staying in the car parks should be addressed before creating designated bays for people to stay overnight. HGV drivers staying aren't a bother and provide some security in Car Park at night. Am concerned about noise from overnight campervan stays.

"I have heard numerous stories of people's dogs from becoming ill because 'uncaring' tourers have disposed of waste in the Meadows rather than at a proper site. We could use that area to provide a good children's play area or lovely seating area, providing the issue of flooding was addressed. Or it could be used as an overflow (car and bike) car park or flower garden (raised planters) and /or community garden area."

there is going to be much less parking spaces if there is no public parking at the meadows. That car park and the station road car park are both full during the summer so where are visitors to park. We need more parking not less. There is little enough parking for locals without tourists parking around our back streets let alone the main road.

Grass/meadow/shrub (not trees) embanking (c.3m high, 20/25m footprint width, 2-3m top width (for path), can be sloping or terraced, will allow access paths to slope up and over. More visually attractive.

At Leny Road the embankment would be wider, to allow an access track (emergency, farm vehicles) to be taken off if necessary.

Wall (also c.3m) only where insufficient space for embanking, ie. close to river or to Tom na Chisaig. Option A is preferable because it maximises green space, but would require the Bridge St entry point to be raised by some form of ramping; height to be determined by levels survey.

This involves diverting the river to allow an embankment. It also allows a pool (boating!) and opens up land between the pool and the new river channel.
