"As Provost of Falkirk I am proud to see how our people are displaying real resilience in the face of this pandemic and would recognise the wonderful work done by those in the NHS, key workers and groups and individuals within our communities who are doing so much to support the vulnerable.
"I am also proud of the council departments who are continuing to provide services for our communities.
