Plans by the Edinburgh Monarchs motorcycle speedway club to build a new stadium in Livingston have been dashed by the council’s decision to sell the site for industrial use.
That decision could have a direct effect on a community battling incidents of motorcycle misuse on the streets in the area, residents said.
West Lothian’s Council’s Executive voted down an amendment from the SNP to question the sale, or find an alternative site for the club. With the Monarchs set to lose their home in Armadale next month at the end of this season a future in West Lothian looks uncertain.
