Thank you to everyone who completed the traffic related survey monkey. Attached is the results of the survey. 534 people completed the survey 196 of which were Dunblane Primary School children.
Following a discussion at the High School and a further discussion with parents at Dunblane Primary School the following decisions were made –
• A clear priority highlighted throughout the survey is to reduce congestion on Old Doune Road in order to promote pedestrian safety. Safe places for children to cross are required. Those proposed would be –
• A zebra crossing on the Old Doune Road between Braemar and Wallace Road
• A zebra crossing at the chicanes on Wallace Road.
• A drop off zone at the grass area on Wallace Road would be useful with a 15 minute parking zone for parents walking younger children to school.
• A roundabout on Wallace Road at either Anchorscross or Coldstream Avenue. This would allow traffic to turn and reduce the traffic on the Old Doune Road.
• An additional zebra crossing on the Doune Road, coming from Tesco’s, past the entrance to Old Doune Road.
• A zebra crossing at the chicanes at the top of the Old Doune Road, closest to the High School.
Discussions with Stirling Council are continuing to achieve these new pedestrian crossings
• A leaflet will be created by pupils from all cluster schools to promote various suggested informal drop-off points to DHS parents. The suggested drop off points proposed would be –
• Aygyle Way circuit
• Wallace Road Circuit
• Tesco’s
• The Haining.
• Grant Drive.
• As a result of feedback from the survey the traffic group will also investigate the bus provision for DHS with a view to improving this service if possible.
