Falkirk housing estate community come together to tackle poverty and isolation

Residents of a Falkirk housing estate are working to try and combat severe health and social care issues they say are worse than ever in the wake of the pandemic.

The committee behind Hallglen's only community hall say they feel their community has become increasingly cut off - with a poor bus service making it difficult to get to work or health appointments.

For anyone who has a car, Hallglen is only a few minutes drive from Falkirk town centre - but for those who don't, it can be almost impossible to get public transport. The service that once had four buses an hour is now supposed to be half-hourly - in fact, you're lucky if they turn up at all, say the residents.
