Plans to convert a former social work office in Bathgate into a community music and arts centre have been rejected by West Lothian Council.
The project would have been delivered in partnership with two other third sector organisations: Reconnect SCIO which runs Bathgate’s Regal Theatre, and Trash Panda, a community interest company which aims to promote well-being through music and arts.
Councillors on the Asset Transfer Committee backed officials who said an application by Bathgate Community Development Trust to take on the building should not go ahead because detailed proposals were scant.
