Flood alert in place across Falkirk as heavy rain sweeps district

A flood alert has been issued for Falkirk as heavy rain sweeps across the district.

It means there's a chance rivers and burns could burst their banks, leaving homes and roads flooded.

The alert, which is in place until further notice, covers the whole of Falkirk and large part of Central Scotland.

A spokesperson for the Scottish Environment Protection Agency said: "Locally heavy rain may affect the area during Wednesday and again on Thursday. There is a risk of localised flooding of land and roads from rivers and surface water.

"Remain vigilant and remember, it is your responsibility to take actions which help protect yourself and your property."
