Falkirk Council buildings up for sale as staff move to new HQ
This will include the sale of buildings belonging to Common Good funds, including Falkirk Old Burgh Buildings in Newmarket Street, currently used by the council's registration service.
Once the new headquarters is ready - probably in 2023/24 - these will become surplus to requirements and will be sold, with the cash raised going to the former burgh's Common Good Fund.

Denny Town House - which is currently used as the main office for the Health and Social Care Partnership - would also be sold, with the money going to Denny's Common Good Fund.
If councillors agree, the for sale signs will go up for Sealock House in Grangemouth, where Children's Services are currently based, and Abbotsford House in Bainsford, Development Services are based.
Sealock House could be empty as soon as 2021, while Abbotsford House will be one of the last properties to be vacated.
