Linlithgow’s mothballed Low Port Centre looks set to be taken over by the town’s St John’s Church as a new centre for clerical and social activities.
Councillors on West Lothian’s Asset Transfer Committee agreed to back the transfer of the empty building and support a two-year fundraising project by the church to carry out £1.5 million worth of improvement works needed for the building.
The committee also agreed a grant of £76,000 to fund a team to drive the project forward and raise funds to run and invest in the building following the agreed transfer for the sum of £1.
