The recently approved Council Plan (September 2022), established the strategic framework for service delivery over the next five years and how that will be done. The plan recognised that tough decisions will need to be made to allow us to focus limited resources on services that support those most in need, create brighter futures for children and young people, drive economic recovery and a green transition, and help create jobs.

The Financial Strategy identified that the Council has a projected funding gap to 2026/27 of £69m, and provides an outline of the activities required to identify future options to reduce this funding deficit. These activities include transformation, improvement, service reductions, Council tax strategies, service concessions and borrowing requirements.

The Strategic Property Review forms part of the wider approach to supporting service transformation, modernisation and cost reduction.

Community Asset Transfer - What support is available?

Our Community Asset Transfer team is ready to discuss the possibilities, benefits and the process with anyone interested in asset transfer. You can email them at:

strategicpropertyreview@falkirk.gov.uk

We have also partnered with third sector organisation, CVS Falkirk. CVS can provide additional support and guidance to interested parties including:

helping groups develop their ideas
supporting and advising groups through the transfer journey
building capacity, skills and resilience beyond the transfer

A dedicated £3 million fund is available to support community-led groups interested in asset transfer to assist with energy efficiency improvements and other necessary works, pending suitable business cases.

Additionally, we have recently launched Community Empowerment Grants, which can provide financial assistance of up to £12,500 to support groups in their CAT efforts. For more information about these grants and the CAT process, please visit www.falkirk.gov.uk/ceg.
