Finding your way in Stirling
Go Forth Stirling and Stirling Council are working together to make sure that everyone who visits and lives in Stirling finds it easy and enjoyable to navigate around the city of Stirling.
We want to understand why you visit and how you get around within the city. We're especially keen to hear about how we can improve signage and other navigational infrastructure like information boards to help people get to where they want to go and to feel confident in exploring more of our city.
Whether you're a resident, visitor, or business we want to hear your opinions. By taking part in the survey you'll be helping us to improve city centre directions and information for everyone here and make Stirling an even better place to visit, work, study, and live. This survey will take around 10 minutes to complete.
