Falkirk Council's housing services has launched a survey on the cleanliness of common closes in the area.

Now moves are afoot to possibly expand on the close-cleaning service the local authority rolled out at three blocks of flats in the area.

A council spokesperson said: “Housing Services is committed to working with tenants to improve the standards of cleanliness in shared closes. In a recent survey tenants told us that they are concerned about the standard of cleanliness in hallways and staircases (closes) that people share to enter their flats.

“In recent years, the Housing Service tried out a close-cleaning service in three blocks of flats across the council area. Now that we’ve heard back from tenants who were involved, we want to know how other tenants would feel about having this kind of service.”

The consultation will run until April 14.
