"We hope to make it even easier for local residents to enjoy a variety of delicious food both comfortably and safely.”

All deliveries made via the app are contactless, and Uber Eats has also introduced measures to help ensure that every courier can access PPE for free.

The app is available every day of the week from 8am to midnight. 

The announcement comes on the heels of Deliveroo who said they hoped to launch in Alloa over the summer.
