Further delays to long-awaited plans for an upgrade of the road over the Avon Gorge will be discussed when Falkirk Council's executive meets next week.
The meeting on Tuesday will be the first time the executive has met since the election on May 5. Members will hear that a previous decision to apply for cash to finally start work on bridging the Avon Gorge is unable to go ahead just yet.
However, a joint bid for funding led by West Lothian Council could see Junction 3 of the M9 being upgraded, which would also benefit the Falkirk area.
