Future Deanston

- Getting more activities in the Community Centre

Deanston Shop
Earlier this year, the only shop in Deanston village (and its Post Office) closed.
The nearest shop at the petrol station, is at least a 15 minute walk (each way).
This is a hear-and-now issue, as well as a future one.
Today, there is a lack of service provision for Deanston that needs addressed—not just for groceries but Post Office services and pharmacy deliveries.
But there is also an empty shop unit (owned by Stirling Council). In 10 years time do we want it to still be empty?
Community operation of the shop was looked at when its closure was confirmed, and was not financially viable.
