Ongoing demolition work at the east end of Falkirk High Street will see temporary footpath closures at the location to allow removal of material safely next month.

The closure will stretch from the former main entrance of Callendar Square shopping centre off the High Street eastwards to the High Street Bandstand.

This work is scheduled for Saturday 26th October and will allow the high corner elevation between High Street and Callendar Riggs to be removed safely.

This work will take place between 8 p.m. on Saturday and 8 a.m. on Sunday, 27th October, to minimise the impact on daytime activity.

Following this, partial closures will begin on Monday, 28th October, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.

During these periods, the High Street will remain open to pedestrians, with access granted for deliveries, waste services, and emergency vehicles.

For safety reasons, demolition work will be paused when access is required for these vehicles.

To ensure public safety, staff will be positioned at both ends of the closure area to guide pedestrians and manage permitted traffic. The demolition team is taking every precaution to safeguard residents and businesses during this period.

A spokesperson for Falkirk Council said: "The closure is needed to carry out the demolition safely, and we are working with the contractors to keep disruption to a minimum. Local businesses and resident in the vicinity of the work have been contacted directly."
