		Stirling became home to Dr Robert McIntyre in the 1940’s and, since then, he has continued to live in the town.

		IF there are any advantages to being a regional list member of the Scottish Parliament, as opposed to a single constituency member, it is that there is greater opportunity to see how different councils perform in carrying out their duties.
		For every depressing performance - usually born from a "we know better than you" mentality that pervades much of the public sector - there is also a refreshing example of a council going out of its way to meets the demands of local residents.
		Stirling residents endure the sixth highest council tax in Scotland - more than Edinburgh’s, which is the seventh highest.

	House of Commons Hansard Debates for 17 May 1994
		In my constituency experience, it is clear that people do not adequately distinguish, or understand sufficiently well the distinction, between the functions carried out by districts and the functions carried out by the existing Highland regional council.
		It would be churlish of Clackmannan to say that it was only the Government's desire to create a Stirling authority, or the wrong-headedness of their aim to lump it with Falkirk, which resulted in what we have at present.
		The community councils in the constituency are in favour of that option ; 17 out of 18 of the sitting district councillors and eight out of nine of the newly elected regional councillors are in favour, as is, of course, the Member of Parliament.

		Constituents are often accompanied by new partners and perhaps new dependants.
		That can be frustrating for constituents who feel that their lives are on hold until their cases have been sorted out.
		I find that while constituents may not always walk away from the face-to-face meeting ecstatic, they virtually always leave with greater understanding, and more often than not, with the satisfaction of having had their concerns taken seriously and sympathetically, with a human face rather than a voice at the end of a telephone.

		Stirling councillors, who "unanimously accepted the educational case for re-locating Wallace and Stirling High Schools to new sites" earlier this month (see press release), seem so flushed by flexing their muscles that they have decided to get a slice of the new-build action for themselves.
		Stirling Council's Schools PPP Project proposes that a new St Modan's High School is built next to the existing Bannockburn High School, with the old St Modan's grounds being developed into 93 houses (planning application 04/01049/DET).

		Such tiny sample sizes mean that the margin of error is far too large for the findings in the individual constituencies to be of any practical use.
		Suppose that instead of deriving six constituency 'results' from each poll the Record had been content to present the overall findings from voters in six key marginals — as calculated approximately in the final column of the table.
		Last week's polls found the Conservatives in a hopeless position, having lost a third of their support in these key seats; Labour was a little stronger than in 1997 and the SNP much stronger, up nine points.

		The drive to working in partnership with communities – and negotiated governance – is the style that Stirling Council has adopted since day one and seems consistent with what the new government is now advocating.
		At the moment the presumption is that councils are very much limited by central government controls and therefore the vote for central government is the important one.
		Postal ballot in Stirling has overcome the tendency of community councils to be self-appointed.
