Denny and Banknock would be represented by a Cumbernauld & Kilsyth MSP if the latest plans are approved
Splitting the Falkirk council area into three different Scottish Parliament constituencies will be confusing for voters and difficult to administer, councillors have agreed.
"Natural links with communities have been broken and will create a huge amount of voter confusion and potentially an apathy to go out and vote because you may be unsure who your candidate is. "Falkirk as a result of its size is particularly well suited to being divided into two constituencies and these constituencies are well understood and recognised by voters," he said.
He was also concerned that the changes would create administrative difficulties with traditional polling areas becoming separated. However, several other areas did complain which led to major differences in the recently published second review.
