Livingston South

At a meeting of the Livingston South Local Area Committee (1 July) councillors agreed that consultation will take place later this year concerning, the grassed area near St Ninian's Primary School, the football pitch at Bellsquarry and mixed woodland at Newpark House, Bellsquarry. 

In June, more than 300 pupils from across Livingston attended a special showcase event at Letham Primary School focusing on 'Personalisation and Choice' a principle of Curriculum of Excellence.

One of the Inveralmond Community High School Cluster's annual targets was to celebrate the good practice  that is already in place in their schools by exhibiting the work of the pupils and their teachers and to share this with parents, teachers, Learning Teaching Scotland and members of the local community. 

The Livingston South ward consists of Ladywell, Howden, Kaimes, Livingston Village south of the River Almond, Adambrae, Dedridge, Bellsquarry and Murieston.

Locality Planning is being developed across West Lothian within each multi-member ward.  This process involves partner agencies from the public, private and voluntary sectors working together with communities to jointly plan local services.  Locality Planning has a particular focus on addressing the key priorities within a local area.

Local Area Committees have been established in every ward.  These Committees are a forum through which local issues can be discussed.  Discussion is encouraged between local members, local officers and the wider community - everyone plays a key role in Locality Planning. 

Livingston South's Local Area committee members are Peter Johnston, Lawrence Fitzpatrick, Danny Logue and John Muir.  

A Locality Plan for Livingston South will be developed which will detail those key priorities specific to this area and the ways in which organisations will work together with the community to tackle these issues.
