The future of an under-threat pony therapy business looks to have been secured.
West Dunbartonshire is a step closer to buying Sheepfold, owned by Susan Dick, to develop a relief road to the former ExxonMobil site in Bowling which is subject to renovation work.
Concern had been raised by Ms Dick about what this would mean for the pony therapy business she runs, but the local authority has now granted a grazing lease at a site in Overtoun for £1 and will allow Ms Dick to transfer the burial ground she has for her late horses to an area near Littlemill.
