Falkirk Council (or Falkirk Unitary Authority) was constituted in 1996, when the Clackmannanshire, Falkirk and Stirling Councils replaced the previous, barely sufficiently large roads authority, Central Regional Council (2008 mid-year estimated population about 290,500).
Within its Unitary Authority area, Falkirk Council supports a population of (2008 mid-year estimated) 151,600 and maintains the 933 km of roads on its statutory list. A further 47 km of roads in the area are maintained by Scottish Government contractors.
In the Baseline period (currently 1994-1998) road accidents in the area averaged 363. These produced an average of 482 casualties (432 on local roads) of whom 105 were Killed or Seriously Injured (93 on local roads).
