Drop-in session for new Falkirk Town Hall

People across Falkirk are being asked to share their views on the new Town Hall.

The £70m project will include council workspaces, a theatre and a public library.

Construction is due to begin next autumn - with the building expected to open in late 2029.

A public-drop in event is being held next Tuesday at Falkirk Library.

Councillor Paul Garner, Acting Leader of Falkirk Council said:

Creating a new Town Hall is a significant investment so it is absolutely essential it meets the needs of all the communities within Falkirk Council. That is why it's so important that people have the opportunity to see what's being proposed and tell us what they think before plans are finalised.

"This event will give residents the chance to speak directly with the architects and project team, understand the thinking behind the designs and help shape the final planning application.

"We want people to come along, see the designs, tell us how they might use the spaces and share their views. Feedback from the community will help us refine the plans as the project moves forward.

Paul Stallan from Stallan Brand Architects said:

"This is an important stage in the design process and we're keen to hear what local people think about the plans.

"The aim is to create a building that celebrates Falkirk’s status and civic role while providing modern, flexible spaces that can support culture, learning, public services and community use for decades to come.

"The feedback we receive will help refine the designs before the next stage of the project."
