Falkirk residents asked for ideas to stop council 'running out of money'

Falkirk Council is asking residents for their views on how the council "can avoid running out of money".

This year's budget gap - the difference between the council's expenditure and income - is now an unprecedented £67 million over the next four years.

While the exact amount will change slightly, depending on funding settlements and inflation costs, the council says this means it must take "urgent steps through a number of difficult decisions to avoid running out of money".
