New Falkirk town hall base decided

The leader of Falkirk Council says she's "delighted" the local authority has agreed plans for a new town hall.

They'll buy Callander Square, with construction on a new base beginning in 2026.

The old Municipal Buildings will be sold off.

Councillor Cecil Meiklejohn commented:

“We are delighted that we can now get on and deliver a new town hall facility, kick starting the regeneration of Falkirk town centre and raising the economic prospects of communities and businesses across the district, that so many have been calling for after years of indecision.

“Of course, there is a significant amount of work to be done before a new facility is realised, but I am confident that we have the right people taking forward this important work, and we will soon start to see the wider aspects of these proposals coming forward.

“It is good to get a majority support across the Council. While this was a central part of our manifesto in 2022, I’m pleased that we have achieved cross-party support and look forward to building on this as a way forward for the whole council area.”
