Work on a cancer support centre near Falkirk has resumed after its previous contractor went into administration**.**

The new Maggie's Centre at Forth Valley Royal Hospital has been on hold for a month because of the collapse of the Dunne Group, which was carrying out the work.

Sir Robert McAlpine has been chosen to complete the centre and workers are back on site.

A Maggie's spokesperson said: "Maggie's is delighted to announce that we have appointed Sir Robert McAlpine to complete work on our new Centre at the Forth Valley Royal Hospital in Larbert, taking over from Dunne Group, who went into administration last month.

"Thanks to the swift transfer to Sir Robert McAlpine, we anticipate any delays to the completion of the project to be kept to a minimum and look forward to seeing Maggie's Forth Valley opening its doors to welcome people with cancer, as well as their family and friends, from across the Forth Valley area later this year."

The first Maggie's Centre opened in Edinburgh in 1996.
