There is currently no safe active travel route for walking, biking and wheeling between the growing community to the south of Killearn and Killearn village.
The community to the south of Killearn continues to grow at pace with an additional 89 houses currently being built in the new CALA development, alongside amenities including a hairdresser, bike shop, garden centre, cafe, art centre, and access to the West Highland Way.
Killearn village is the location of many community activities and amenities including Killearn Primary School, shops, the village hall, kirk, park, health centre, chemist, tennis courts, and transport links to Glasgow and Stirling.
Access between Killearn village and the area south of Killearn is either by busy roads or via a sub-standard footpath that is not wide enough to safely accommodate families with children walking to the primary school, or those who wish to cycle or wheel to the village.
Parking in Killearn village, in particular around the primary school where congestion is a big problem, is very limited. There is no public transport to link the two areas, or for those in the area south of Killearn to travel further afield as buses run from Killearn village.
An attractive, safe off-road route between the south of Killearn and Killearn village would link these two areas of Killearn. A fit-for-purpose path will encourage more regular walking, biking and wheeling for everyday journeys for the growing community. The Killearn Active Travel project is working towards the realisation of this change.
