Falkirk town centre routes set to shine with new decorative lighting
Three routes into Falkirk town centre are getting a colourful makeover as new feature lighting is set to be installed.
New lighting will be installed in Kings Court, Wilson’s Close, and Baxters Wynd as part of ongoing regeneration works.
Supported through the Scottish Government’s Place Based Investment Programme, the £88,000 project will bring new everyday lighting which can change colour for special events and occasions. The project brings a fresh approach to public lighting while helping local spaces feel safer, more welcoming, and become better used in the evenings.
Works began on Monday and are expected to last between two to three weeks.
New lighting is one part of the recent upgrades Falkirk town centre has seen, the others include improvements to ironwork, cleaning and refurbishment works, better CCTV, and new seating. The improvements are targeted at enhancing the area for visitors and residents.
For Kings Court, an important route into the High Street, the lighting works are the latest instalment in a string of beneficial upgrades. The route has been repainted, cleaned, and had the ironwork upgraded.
Councillor Paul Garner, depute leader of Falkirk Council said: “These improvements will make a real difference to some of the busiest routes leading to Falkirk High Street.
"The feature lighting will help create a brighter and more attractive centre while giving us the flexibility to mark special events and occasions throughout the year.
"This investment is another step in our wider work to support Falkirk town centre for residents, visitors and local businesses.”
