Provost Robert Bissett said he wants the new Baillies to be appointed from the Conservative group and Independents
Yesterday Provost Robert Bissett asked council to approve the appointment of two new Baillies for Falkirk, an honorary position on the council that is unpaid.
"I would not have brought this motion forward if I did not think there was a need for Baillies," he said. "This gives a political balance across the civic function and is a good example of cross-party collaboration and co-operation."
