More than 100 Falkirk facilities set to close or transfer in a bid to cut costs

More than a hundred Falkirk Council facilities will close or be transferred out of council ownership over the next three years in a bid to save money, councillors have agreed.

Those affected by the council's strategic property review include Bo’ness Recreation Centre, Polmont Ski Centre, Stenhousemuir Gym and Carron Gymnastics Centre as well as all of the district's community centres and sports pavilions.

Today, SNP and Conservative members of Falkirk Council's Executive Committee, agreed the proposal in principle. Communities will now be asked for their views on how the buildings could be transferred before any final decisions on individual buildings are made.
