Spaces for People scheme to cost West Lothian £100,000 despite end of pandemic

The controversial Spaces for People programme will leave West Lothian Council with a bill of more than £100,000.

This will cover the costs of removing some temporary measures and making permanent those supported in communities including Linlithgow and East Calder.

The money will come from existing Roads department budgets, a report to the West Lothian Council’s Executive said.
