A decision to scrap Falkirk Community Trust at a cost of £1 million a year should be reversed quickly before it’s too late, three former directors of the Trust have said.
The council made the decision to wind up the Trust and bring sport, leisure and cultural services back in-house from April this year – a decision that was strongly criticised at the time by the former directors.
Having the Trust run the services as an arms-length organisation means it can claim rates relief worth £1 million every year and the critics say there is no justification for losing this.
