Some of the Falkirk area’s most distressing problems – including rising suicides and high levels of drug deaths and domestic violence – are to be addressed in a new ten-year plan.
The Falkirk Plan – which was approved by councillors on Tuesday – pledges to work with partners such as the NHS and the Police to tackle the most pressing issues of deprivation and inequality that blight so many lives.
As part of the Community Planning Partnership, much of the work is already being done but the new plan, they say, will help to highlight priorities and pool resources more effectively between those involved.
