Falkirk councillors will be asked to object to the latest plans in a review of Holyrood boundaries
Proposed changes to Scottish Parliament constituencies that would see the Falkirk council area split into three are set to face objections from the council.
Provisional proposals made last year - during the first stage of the review - were that the Falkirk Council area would maintain Falkirk East and Falkirk West constituencies as they are, with no changes. A new Linlithgow and Falkirk South constituency would have a Falkirk electorate of 49,611 out of a total of 65,523 and contain: Bo’ness and Blackness; Grangemouth; Lower Braes; and Upper Braes along with one full and one part Ward from West Lothian with a combined electorate of 15,912.
