Grangemouth and Skinflats Community Council is looking to add more members to enable it to continue its vital role.

A post appeared on the group’s Facebook page to see if it could attract residents aged 16 and over to become community councillors.

The post stated: “Grangemouth and Skinflats Community Council is looking to expand its membership and we’d love to hear from local residents who want to make a difference.

“Do you have ideas about how we can make our communities better places to live, work and thrive? Would you be willing to volunteer some of your time to represent the views of local residents?

“Community Council elections are due in 2027, so now is a great time to get involved. Everyone is welcome to come along, meet us and find out more about what we do.”

The group meets on the third Thursday of every month in the Community Education Unit, in Abbots Road, Grangemouth.
