An action plan to keep the deadly legionella bacteria out of public water in Falkirk Council buildings is now underway, following an audit that described procedures as "unacceptable".

Falkirk Council's audit committee heard yesterday (Monday) that a dedicated legionella officer has now been appointed who will be part of a team to oversee property management that is now being recruited.

A working group has been overseeing the action plan which includes making all council premises managers more aware of their responsibilities.

"Like Councillor Meiklejohn, I am concerned about the future," she said.Head of Invest Falkirk, Paul Kettrick, said that training is being rolled out from April and an updated handbook has already been issued to all premises managers to make them aware of their responsibilities.He added: "Whilst

Celebrity-loved diet linked to higher risk of heart disease death: study
celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Heidi Klum and Jennifer Lopez has been shockingly connected to a severely increased risk of cardiovascular death, via a newly published study.Users of the so-called 16:8 diet — in which one eats only during an eight-hour window and fasts for the other 16 hours in a day — are at an increased 91% risk of dying from heart disease compared to those who eat over 12- or 16-hour periods, South West News Service reports.“Our findings encourage a more cautious, personalized approach to dietary recommendations, ensuring they are aligned with an individual’s health status and the latest scientific evidence,” senior author Dr. Victor Wenze Zhong said in a statement.“We were surprised to find in our study that people who followed an eight-hour, time-restricted eating schedule were more likely to die from cardiovascular disease,” added Zhong, a professor and chair of the department of epidemiology and biostatistics at China’s Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.Those with a cardiovascular illness who ate in a window of time lasting between eight and 10 hours a day have a 66% higher risk of dying from heart disease or stroke, according to the data.Researchers analyzed the eating habits of more than 20,000 US adults — with an average age of 49 — over a median period of eight years.The research was presented Monday at the American Heart Association’s Epidemiology and Prevention│Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Scientific Sessions 2024 in Chicago.
