I am delighted that Sauchie will be the first recipient of investment under the Village and Small Town Centre Initiative. We have secured £648,000-worth of funding for these improvements and I look forward to hearing the views of local residents and businesses on our proposals."

The proposals include:

• Refurbishing the exterior of buildings in Sauchie Main Street
• Upgrading paths
• Removing the raised beds
