Bonnybridge and Larbert are two very distinct communities that at first glance don't seem to have much in common, although they share a ward and will share the three councillors elected in May.
However, both areas have seen tremendous growth in recent years with new housing springing up in their communities. That has led to fears that infrastructure for services such as education and health will not be able to cope.
Larbert in particular has been transformed by housebuilding, which many residents say is putting massive pressure on schools and doctors' surgeries.
