Stirling Council’s road network provides our communities with their principal means of transport and helps the social and economic prosperity of the area, which we all enjoy and upon which we all depend.
The Council is the statutory Roads Authority for the area and is responsible for approximately 1000 kilometres of public roads, 700 kilometres of footways, 650 bridges, 13,500 street lighting columns; among other assets.
Our top priorities are the safety and maintenance of the Council’s road infrastructure, a public asset that has a replacement value of more than £1100 million. However, it is fully appreciated that we must also; contribute to the reduction in the number and severity of road traffic accidents; improve transport integration and complimentary transport networks; improve the efficiency of traffic flows and promote a more sustainable healthy travel culture.
The Netowrk Team within Housing & Environment Services is responsible for discharging the Council’s statutory duties as Roads Authority. The Service mission statement is;
‘To manage and maintain roads to allow the safe movement of people, goods and services for the social and economic benefit of all people in Stirling.’
Road safety forms an integral part of community safety and is incorporated into the Community Safety Plan.
