The schemes are being delivered with £683,000 government funding presented to Clackmannanshire as part of its Town Centre Fund, which supports councils to ensure that town centres are more diverse, sustainable and successful in the face of changing and evolving retails patterns.
The projects identified in Alloa include: a £200,000 Active Travel scheme; £186k improvements on King Street, creating a link between King Street and Drysdale Street; and remodelling social space at Shillinghill and Bank Street.

When complete, the works will address town centre issues such as sustainable transport, congestion, pedestrian connections and anti social behaviour.
Clackmannanshire Council is delivering the works in partnership with Alloa First, CTSI and Architecture and Design Scotland.
Local councillor Craig Holden, Spokesperson for Environment & Housing, said: "We want our town centres to be sustainable and thriving places where our communities can enjoy living and working, and this funding is an important step towards making improvements to Alloa. This list of projects has been chosen by working with our partners to identify issues that need addressing, and this funding is part of the bigger picture which will lead to the next stage of transformation for Alloa town centre."
