Plans have been unveiled by Clackmannanshire Council to transform Sauchie Main Street.

The proposals are the first to fall under the umbrella of the Village and Small Town Centre Initiative which was agreed by the Council as part of the 2013/14 budget earlier this year.

A consultation programme on the proposal is now underway and the Council is asking for views from local residents and businesses.

Sauchie Community Council met on Monday evening and saw the plans for the first time.
