Plans submitted to erect 16-foot high fence to stop balls landing in garden

Fencing more than 16-feet high could be put up to stop balls landing in a community garden.

Stirling Council officials have submitted an application to the authority’s planners to install five-metre high ‘ball stop netting/fencing’ between Braehead football pitches and Braehead Community Gardens.

The fencing would be finished in a muted green colour.

Council planners are expected to make a recommendation on the application in due course.

The garden opened in 2015 thanks to a £250,000 lottery grant. The 11,000 square metre site with 100 raised beds available to hire allows local people to grow fresh fruit and vegetables in a facility that was previously crowned the “Best Community Space in the UK” by the Society of Garden Designers.
