Neighbouring villages that share polling stations will be split for Scottish Parliament elections if proposals go ahead
A councillor says boundary changes to Scottish Parliament constituencies would mean 'butchering' the part of Falkirk district he represents.
Cllr Kelly said: "The Denny and Banknock ward has been embedded within Falkirk and the Forth Valley for many years."Our library services and our education services are managed by Falkirk Council. In a statement, he said: "The communities share bus routes, polling places, and the same community centre."
He also questioned the separation from Bonnybridge, saying this would be "difficult, confusing and acutely impactful on the people of Banknock".
