Falkirk Town Hall could close its doors for good after this year's pantomime run as a proposal to refurbish it would cost millions while the building would still not be fit for purpose.
That's the verdict of a report going to a meeting of Falkirk Council next Wednesday, containing proposals it is hoped will win support after years of stalemate between political parties locally.
A year ago, opposition councillors rejected SNP proposals for a new HQ and arts centre in Falkirk High Street and instead instructed officials to look at building a new standalone office on the old Westbank Clinic site and refurbishing the existing FTH.
