The cost and timeline for the repair of an historic clock knocked down by a driver in December have yet to be agreed.
The historic 127-year-old Paterson Memorial Clock, in Bridge of Allan, was destroyed when it was hit by a car.
Located outside the popular Westerton Arms in the town’s Henderson Street the clock was smashed to the ground on Friday, December 6.
The 78-year-old driver of the car, the only occupant, was taken to Forth Valley Royal Hospital, where she was treated. She was also subject to a report to the Procurator Fiscal for alleged road traffic offences.
Ther clock was later taken in to safe storage by Alloa-based firm JPS Restoration and Consultancy Ltd.
Stirling Council has this week confirmed that conversations with heriatge engineers are continuing over how the structure will be restored before the repair can proceed.
A spokesperson said: “We continue to liaise closely with heritage engineers to understand the nature of the restoration requirements, and this will guide the next actions.”

When the clock was first flattened back in December, a council spokesperson said: “This was a frightening accident and thankfully nobody was injured.
“The incident remains the subject of a live police investigation and we’re supporting Police Scotland’s appeal for witnesses to provide any information that may be helpful.
“Engineers have been on site over the weekend and the damage to the Paterson Memorial Clock will be fully assessed before any next steps can be taken.”
The Memorial Clock and Drinking Fountain were erected in 1898 by public subscription to commemorate gratitude for Dr Alexander Paterson’s service to the town.
