How is Falkirk Council responding following the industrial action taken at the refinery at Grangemouth?
Falkirk is a member of the Central Scotland Strategic Co-ordinating Group (SCG) and is working with our partners to ensure that our communities will experience minimal inconvenience and the needs of our most vulnerable people will be met. Falkirk Council’s senior management team has also met and is keeping the impact of the ongoing dispute under constant review. At the moment, we do not foresee any disruption to the services we provide and it is business as usual. SCG Members include Central Scotland Police; Central Scotland Fire and Rescue Service; Falkirk Council; Stirling Council; Clackmannanshire Council; NHS Forth Valley; Scottish Environment Protection Agency and the Scottish Ambulance Service. The group is meeting regularly to discuss the ongoing industrial dispute at INEOS, Grangemouth, and prepare for any potential impact on our local communities and services.
