That the Parliament congratulates Carronshore Heritage Forum on its continued commitment to preserving and promoting the rich history of Carronshore; believes that, since its establishment in 2017, the Forum has delivered significant community improvements, including the creation of a new war memorial, annual Christmas celebrations, senior citizens’ events and investment in the village; acknowledges with gratitude the generosity of the wider Carronshore community, whose residents, businesses and supporters have contributed to the funding of the war memorial and the success of numerous community events; recognises the valued support of the Carronshore Bar, the Victoria Inn and the Carronshore Community Centre in hosting charity events and providing spaces that strengthen community engagement; welcomes the installation of historical information boards along the River Carron to educate residents and visitors about Carronshore’s journey from an agricultural hub to a thriving industrial village linked to ironworks, coal mining, docks and railway heritage; commends plans to enhance accessibility through additional seating and community infrastructure along the riverside walk; welcomes the Forum’s December 2025 community-led gardens project, celebrating the area’s heritage and encouraging community participation through a fundraising silent auction initiative, and thanks all volunteers, trustees, local historians and community partners involved for their dedication to strengthening community spirit, heritage education and civic pride in Carronshore.
