To allow full repairs to be carried out by GTC and partners there will be a temporary loss of power to the homes in Kinnaird for a minimum of six hours.

It is expected that it will also lead to an interruption in the water supply.

Falkirk Council has set up an emergency rest centre in the Tryst Community Centre for the people to go to during the disruption.
