This funded project aims to create a visionary Masterplan for the Meadows and Station Rd car park in Callander.

CCDT are exploring ways to enhance these vital spaces towards a resilient, sustainable and accessible future for local people, biodiversity and visitors.

We will be gathering ideas from August 2024 to December 2024.

A final Report and Masterplan will be produced in January 2025.

Callander Green Adventure Gateway Vision Report (6)

# data[].attributes.body
Is this actually going to happen?

The vision and report will be published in February 2025 and will outline next steps to take key ideas forwards. This vision has been developed to guide future decision making in Station Rd and the Meadows and should be referenced moving forward by all stakeholders.

Can I access the information gathered as part of this project?

We have a project information drive which can be accessed with permission from Callander Community Development Trust.

Where can I view the project vision & report?

The final project vision & report will be published in February 2025 online. Physical copies will be kept in Callander Connect, 43 Main Street.

Is there funding allocated to deliver some of these projects?

There is no quick answer to this question...

This project aims to identify projects at different scales under one vision. Some projects will need more resources, funding, people power and organisation than others. Each will need to be progressed with different stakeholders.

CCDT are working with LLTNP and Stirling Council to take these ideas further and identify funding via government funding streams.

There is some allocated funding from Cycling UK for some storage in Station Rd car park for e-bikes. CCDT are currently in discussion with Stirling Council to get these installed in 2025.

Other possible funding opportunities on the horizon include the Rural Tourism Infrastructure Funding which could improve facilities in Station Rd car park.

Please forward relevant funding opportunities to CCDT or CCC that might help to make this vision come to life.

Can I get involved?

The steering group are welcoming ideas about the practical legacy of this project beyond February 2025. If you are keen to get involved, get in touch by emailing development@callandercdt.org.uk
