Falkirk Archives (Archon Code: GB558) FALKIRK ARCHIVES Local authority records Central Regional Council Finding Aid The main records of Central Regional Council are held by Stirling Council Archives, 5 Borrowmeadow Rd, Springkerse Industrial Estate, Stirling. However, some duplicate records and some records which relate to current Falkirk Council area have been disaggregated from Stirling and are held in Falkirk so that the records can be held as locally as possible. Central Regional Council was set up under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973. Under the Act a two tier system of local government was instituted with regional councils responsible for regional wide functions. Regions had responsibility for education, social work, roads and road safety, public transport, careers service, highways lighting, trading standards, weights and measures, water and sewerage, flood prevention, coast protection, fire services, police services, civil defence, diseases of animals, strategic planning, industrial promotion, valuations and rating, electoral registration, registration of births, marriages and deaths, and industrial development (in co-operation with Districts) The Act established nine regional councils and 53 district councils along with three islands councils (Orkney, Shetland and Western Isles) which were responsible for the functions of both district and regional councils. The regional councils were instituted in 1974 and acted as shadow authorities until 1975 when they assumed full powers. Regional councils and district councils were abolished under the Local Government etc (Scotland) Act, 1994 (c. 39). They were replaced in 1996 by a single tier form of local government with Central Regional Council covered the geographic area of Falkirk, Clackmannan and Stirling District Councils unitary authorities.
