marathon meeting lasting nearly nine hours, members of Falkirk Council put off making a final decision on the site of the new council HQ and arts centre until September.

They did, however, narrow the options down to two suggestions.At an online meeting on Wednesday, June 23, councillors were asked to approve plans to demolish a block of offices, shops and houses on the High Street/Cockburn Street to make way for a civic centre with a theatre, library, advice hub, meeting rooms and office space.They were told that a “go-forward” instruction was essential to allow the transformation of an ugly 1960s eyesore into a vibrant space that would anchor the regeneration of the town centre.Falkirk Live is an exciting new title bringing you the latest.
