The village would bring a host of modern facilities to Stirling

Stirling Council said it wanted to gauge local opinion on plans for a major sports complex in the city.

The sports village at Forthbank will include swimming pools, a nine court sports hall, outdoor pitches, a climbing wall and ice rink.

Construction work is due to begin in May after the plans go before councillors for final approval.

Stirling Council executive member John Hendry urged the public to have a say.

"We have a vision for facilities that will be second to none and will cater for the needs of all, whether casual leisure users or aspiring athletes," he said.
