Polmont Community Council won the Small Town Award and, taking part in the judged category, received a Silver Gilt certificate.

Volunteers have also been busy tidying up and installing a fence at the Aldi ramp, as well as giving a revamp to an area on Station Road.

They’ve even installed a dog tether next to the shops at the request of shoppers.
