A landlord has launched a legal challenge to plans by Falkirk Council's to replace a roof and roughcasting on a block of flats - at a cost of £11,000 to each of the private owners.
Falkirk Council owns four of the flats in the block at 25-35 Gilchrist Drive, Bantaskin, and has told the owners of the other two flats that the planned work will cost a total of £68,000 - £11,463 per flat.
The council says that the flats, which are around 45 years old, are showing signs of deterioration and the work they have suggested will "preserve the life of the property".
