The new leader of the Labour group on Falkirk Council has pledged to work with other parties to improve the area, after being told by voters that people want to see the politicians stop bickering.
Anne Hannah is the newly elected councillor for the Lower Braes ward, where she almost doubled the Labour vote and became the only Labour candidate to top the poll in any ward across Falkirk.
It was the result, she says, of "old-fashioned campaign tactics, like knocking doors, talking to people, listening to people". And she heard the same things time and again.
