00:00Hello, I'm Jill Buchanan, the editor of the Falkirk Herald, and I'm here to tell you about some of the stories making the headlines in our print edition, which is on sale now.
00:08This week we lead on the news that Falkirk Council has managed to claw back cash from the contractor who did poor quality work at Cadgersbury Roundabout.
00:17Remedial work is underway, but that means six weeks of disruption for motorists.
00:21The Westminster government has announced that Falkirk is one of a handful of areas in the country to receive £20 million for regeneration work.
00:29Discussions are ongoing as to how it will be spent.
00:33NHS chiefs have revealed a new strategy to improve our health for the next 10 years.
00:38And while the good news is that we are living longer, the bad news is that for many that will be in poor health, but they have plans to change that.

01:05We've got lots of photographic coverage from recent events, including a Roman Day at Caneel, a Scout Lego event in Lauriston, and an Open Day at the former Iron Brew factory in Tamfer Hill, which has been turned into a centre of excellence for traditional skills.
