Falkirk Council says is looking to buy a site on the High Street to build a new town hall, after concern over what will happen when the existing facility closes next year.
The council said it is currently "liaising with local land owners with a view to provisionally buying a site on Falkirk High Street" for a new town hall.
The comment came in response to concerns from a local network of arts groups who say that there is "distrust and cynicism" after years of being promised a new theatre for the district with nothing to show for it.
