Six new Labour councillors elected on Thursday to Falkirk Council include one believed to be Falkirk's youngest ever.
Euan Stainbank, 22 - a law graduate who is currently working in a Falkirk restaurant - said many people seemed to see his age as a positive, bringing new energy to the council chamber.
He added: "The one think you've definitely seen on the doorstep is young people after the pandemic are thinking far more locally and they actually care - they see the issues that we're talking about are impacting us as much as everyone else."
