Anti social behaviour in public areas has been a concern in the last year in Livingston South but the biggest issue for local people was the closure of the Lanthorn Community centre for repairs.
Livingston South consists of Ladywell, Howden, Kaimes, Livingston Village south of the river Almond, Adambare, Dedridge , Bellsquarry and Murieston.
Livingston South takes in most of the town centre of the new town, with the ward climbing southwards towards open country that has long attracted developers. Since the 1990s some of the largest homes in Livingston have been built in areas such as Murieston and there continues to be pressure for development on the semi-rural fringe of the town.
