Two community councils who joined forced just over a year ago could now be set to go their separate ways after concerns the match was not working out.
Carmondean and Deans community council was created to help both better represent their local areas. But a reinvigorated community in Deans has left Carmondean feeling left out, and looking to re-establish its own distinct identity.
West Lothian Council’s Executive has agreed to start a public consultation on the re-establishment of two councils for the eastern and western housing areas of northern Livingston after a petition was drawn up in Carmondean and submitted to the council in the summer.
