Final decision day events are taking place over the following two weekends where communities can come forward and vote for their favourite project in a first-past-the-post style ballot.

The Grangemouth event is on Saturday in Bowhouse Community Hall from 1.30-3.30pm and then the following Saturday it’s the turn the Bo’ness and Blackness communities to vote in Bo’ness Town Hall from 11am-1pm.

Residents in Maddiston have already made their choice.

The events are free to attend and will offer attendees an opportunity to hear more about the projects that are up for consideration. A final announcement will be made at the end of each event.

Young people aged 11-25 in each of the three areas will get a chance to vote through the Young Scot website – young.scot/falkirkpb – using their Young Scot National Entitlement Card.
