Administrative History

The Town Clerk kept the minutes, correspondence and other administrative records of the local authorities and acted as their legal adviser. Duties included maintaining correspondence on behalf of the Town Council, acting as the Town Council’s solicitor in the passage of legislation affecting the Burgh and related agreements, representing the Town Council in legal disputes.
The post ceased to exist with the abolition of Falkirk Town Council in 1975 and the functions were mainly transferred to the Chief Executive or to the Director of Law & Administration of Falkirk District Council.
