Something fantastic is happening in central Scotland! Land between Grangemouth and Falkirk is being transformed into the Helix.
Discover the Helix here.
New paths are being constructed all across the Helix, in Helix South, Helix North, and Central Park - discover where the Helix could take you.
Demand for allotments is growing throughout Scotland and the Falkirk area is no exception. Our new project will create allotments in the Helix South area, which will be managed with the support of the Falkirk Allotment Society.
The Helix is a place to relax and enjoy, a place to explore, but it is also a unique opportunity for local businesses to develop and grow as the site becomes busier over the coming years.
