Notice boards for Grangemouth flood protection project

It's hoped a flood protection scheme can help shield residents in Grangemouth from rising water.

New notice boards have been installed across the town, providing information on the project.

It's the largest flood defence project in Scotland - with nearly 6,000 people set to be protected.

The new boards are located at key locations within Zetland Park, by Dorrator Bridge on Stirling Road, by Chapel Burn on Carronshore Road, near the Children's Playground in Rannoch Park, opposite Park Road on Stenhouse Road, Carron and in the Polmont Woods Car Park off Smiddy Brae.

Councillor Paul Garner, Spokesperson for Economic Development at Falkirk Council, said: “Falkirk Council is determined to provide better flood protection for the town and surrounding areas and is working closely with consultants Jacobs to design, plan and deliver the new flood defences.

“We are pleased to unveil our new Grangemouth Flood Protection Scheme information notice boards in key locations across the scheme so that communities can get up-to-date information that’s presented in a clear and visual way.

“We look forward to engaging with the affected communities in the coming months as the project progresses.”
