Councillors lead drive for feasibility study on new River Teith crossing

Stirling SNP councillors are calling for a feasibility study into a new footbridge across the River Teith, as well as improved pedestrian and cycle links between Doune and Deanston, in light of poor connectivity.

Gene Maxwell and Rosemary Fraser say Deanston residents walking or cycling to Doune to access shops and services must cross the current Bridge of Teith, which is very narrow - especially the pavement sections.

But they say as a category A listed building, expansion or alterations of the Bridge of Teith to meet modern vehicle and foot traffic requirements would be extremely unlikely.
