New Modular Community Facility to Replace Falkirk Education Centre
Falkirk Council has agreed to plans for a new modular community building to replace the ageing Camelon Education Centre.
The decision was made after months of engagement between Council officers and the Camelon Management Committee, who had submitted an expression of interest to take on the existing building through a Community Asset Transfer (CAT).
However, detailed condition surveys revealed that the centre would not be financially viable to modernise or operate under a CAT model, due to an estimated £3.3m in backlog maintenance and significant annual running costs.
Councillors approved a more sustainable option, which will see a modern, modular unit installed on the current site, providing purpose-built, energy-efficient accommodation for local groups.
The new facility will ensure local activities and services continue to have a base in the heart of the community.
The centre carries an estimated £3.3m in backlog maintenance, has significant annual running costs and an energy rating of G.
