The flooding team at Stirling Council are conducting a six-week engagement programme with local people, ending on 14 October.
A long list of options around flood mitigation has been considered and appraised and a shortlist has now been drawn up.
Capital funding has been secured to take the shortlist to a preferred option stage, ready to take forward should future funding become available for the project.
Officers are also keen to visit residents who have been affected by flooding to inform, as much as possible, a surface water management plan. It will explore ways to address surface water flooding from sources like sewers, drains and runoff due to heavy rainfall. To arrange a visit, email flooding@stirling.gov.uk.
Drop in events are being hosted to discuss the flood protection scheme and the surface water management plan on the following dates:
- 10 September 2024 - 10am - 1pm - Callander Library
- 18 September 2024 - 10am - 1pm - Callander Library
- 26 September 2024 - 2pm - 7pm - Callander Library
There will also be an online engagement event to discuss the flood protection scheme. It will be hosted on Microsoft Teams at 7pm on 3 October. Residents interested in taking part are asked to register by emailing flooding@stirling.gov.uk before 27 September.
The project team will also attend the Callander Community Council meeting on 16 September and the Callander Flood Group meeting on 7 October.
