Rural Stirlingshire nurseries could face reprieve over Big Noise funding wrangle

Big Noise Stirling the Scottish Government Stirling Council Aberfoyle Chris Kane Sistema SNP

Families in Fintry and Aberfoyle are anxiously awaiting the outcome of a political wrangle which could provide a lifeline from controversial cuts to their nursery hours.

The cuts for Fintry and Aberfoyle nurseries were voted through by the minority Labour administration, with the support of Conservative councillors, at Stirling Council’s recent budget meeting.

Fintry Parent Council say the nursery opening hours in the village will be reduced from 8-6pm Monday-Friday to 9-3pm Monday-Friday, in efforts to save around £28,000 in 2023/2024 and close to £17,000 the following year.
