A call for a fresh report on Falkirk district's pest control services has been rejected, despite claims that the council is failing in its duty to control rats.
At a meeting of Falkirk Council on Thursday, Labour group leader Anne Hannah called for a report into the problem, saying she had heard several horror stories from constituents.
That included one Braes resident who had caught 49 rats over a two-week period in his garden and another who found six rats in their "pristine" garden one morning.
