Falkirk Allotment Society (FAS) was set up over two years ago, initially as a pressure group, to lobby Falkirk Council and any other local landowners to identify any possible sites for allotments.

At that time Falkirk Council was one of only two mainland councils in Scotland which did not have any allotment sites. However late 2009 the society was offered a lease on the walled garden at Bantaskine on the south side of Falkirk. The Council has begun work on clearing the site and repairing the walls and access road before FAS takes on the lease.

This small site will generate around 18 plots and as FAS has a waiting list of over 70 members the society will continue to lobby for more sites across the council area.

Falkirk Allotment Society is working with team members of the Helix Project to identify possible sites within the Helix site.

We shall keep you informed of our progress via this web site.
