The new centre is needed to replace ageing facilities in Camelon and Grangemouth, and smaller facilities would be created across the district to ensure no one is left out.
Plans to create a new £35 million leisure centre in the centre of Falkirk district have been backed by councillors - but they have pledged to make sure that Grangemouth won't lose out.
The ambitious plans were created by a group of councillors from across the political spectrum who worked for eight months with council officers to look at ways to improve Falkirk's leisure offer. Cllr Redmond said they had been particularly impressed by East Dunbartonshire's Allander Centre in Bearsden which "felt like a real destination".
Grangemouth councillor Robert Spears said he was not reassured that the town's "excellent facilities" would be maintained and said the "whole document reeks of centralism".Mr Bennie said he believed the council is moving towards a sustainable financial position which will involve members making "really difficult choices" that would give the council the ability to invest.
