Our aim is to make Stirling Council as accessible as possible and deliver quality and best value by providing good quality services, which meet the needs of communities.

Scottish parliament constituency boundaries consultation
Boundaries Scotland is carrying out a public consultation on its provisional proposals for new constituency boundaries for the Scottish Parliament.
The consultation is part of the body’s second review of Scottish Parliament boundaries and will run until Saturday 17 June 2023.
There are proposed changes to the Stirling constituency and the Clackmannanshire and Dunblane constituency boundary affecting the Trossachs and Teith Ward.
When the consultation closes, Boundaries Scotland will consider all responses received. If further changes are made, another one-month long consultation will be held.

Process for Deputations
A Deputations process has been introduced which allows representatives of community groups or community organisations within the Stirling Council area to speak at a meeting of Council or Committee about any item of business on the agenda for that meeting.
A Deputation may be requested in relation to any report on any Council or Committee agenda, so long as the Council or Committee is asked in the report to make a determination on the issue, subject to the exception of those items noted at paragraph 4.1 of the Deputation procedure guidance.
Once a meeting agenda has been published, applications for a Deputation in relation to a report on the agenda must be made by email to Democratic Services by emailing democratic-services@stirling.gov.uk.
The written request should be submitted as early as possible and must be received by Democratic Services no later than 12 noon 2 working days (Monday to Friday) before the relevant Council or Committee meeting. For example, for a Council meeting taking place at 10am on a Thursday, a request to make a deputation must be received by 12noon on the Tuesday of that week.
Information on submitting a Deputation request and on the process for these to be considered at Council/Committee meetings is set out within the Deputation procedure guidance at the below noted link.
