After a long hot summer Bathgate really is blooming - but not in a prize-winning way, according to councillors.
After calling for a crackdown on tenants who ignore maintaining their gardens and hedges - something he branded society de-evolving- Bathgate’s Local Area Committee chair Harry Cartmill was not happy with the results over the summer.
The Labour councillor, and his fellow long serving SNP colleague, Willie Boyle both complained about the lack of progress in dealing with scruffy gardens around the town, and the tenants who blight their neighbourhoods by refusing to maintain their patch.
