The Raploch Street Design Project

The Raploch Street Design Project

Stirling Council has partnered with Sustrans Scotland on an ambitious project to improve the public spaces on Raploch Road and Drip Road. This is being delivered as part of the Walk, Cycle, Live Stirling programme of improvements for walking and cycling across the city. A key part of the Raploch Street Design Project will be working directly with local people to collaborate on design ideas for the neighbourhood. Plans could include changes to Raploch Road and Drip Road, which give greater priority to people and accessibility, enhance green space and make it easier to walk and cycle through the neighbourhood.

What are we trying to achieve?
  • Redesign the public spaces so that they feel safer, more attractive and more sociable places to spend time in or travel through on foot or by bike.
  • Make it easier for people of all ages and abilities to travel on foot and by bike to local facilities in the area.
  • Improve community cohesion along and across Raploch Road and Drip Road.
  • Motivate and empower residents to influence decisions affecting them and their environment.
  • Showcase best practice engagement and design to inspire other groups and organisations.
  • How can you get involved?

    This is the first stage of the design process which will see events in the local area and opportunities for local people to get directly involved. The project will run between September 2018 and June 2019. Whether you live, work or study in Raploch, we would love to hear from you about your experience of Raploch Road and Drip Road.
