Online Survey

being undertaken by Ironside Farrar Ltd on behalf of Falkirk Council
Aiming to address pedestrian safety, increased anti-social behaviour and improving the appearance of this busy area of Falkirk town centre, Falkirk Council are looking to undertake Public Realm improvements to the lower Lintriggs and Newmarket Street area.

Funded via the Scottish Government’s Town Centre Capital Fund the proposals incorporate 3 projects into one, reducing the disruption period in the town centre and keeping the town open for business, visits and shopping. 

Before we finalise our plans, we are keen to hear from local people to make sure we are doing all we can to address issues and support the town.  Please take a few minutes to look at the plans, read the our proposals and let us know your thoughts here.
