Tenants of Falkirk Council flats will remain responsible for keeping communal areas clean after a report revealed the cost of providing the service would be close to £2 million and would have to come from increased rents.
Members of Falkirk Council's executive heard on Tuesday that a pilot looking at the problem had been inconclusive, so a survey had been done of all council tenants.
The survey asked tenants to consider three options: tenants in flats with communal areas paying for cleaning services; a service being funded by the council through the Housing Revenue Account; or tenants and residents remaining responsible for their own cleaning.
