Politicians in Forth Valley have expressed reservations over the proposed boundaries of a new Westminster constituency for the region.
Hillfoots’ towns Menstrie, Tullibody, Alva, Tillicoultry and Dollar, along with Alloa, are currently included in the Ochil and South Perthshire seat which also includes Auchterarder, Crieff and Kinross.
However, under revised proposals put forward by the Boundary Commission for Scotland this seat would be split apart with Menstrie, Tullibody, Alva and Tillicoultry becoming part of a new Clackmannanshire and Forth Valley constituency along with Airth, Torwood, Dunipace and Denny.
