Things are finally changing on Livingston’s ghost estate.
A new neighbourhood is growing up around Kerry Mackintosh’s condemned home. Houses, being built for West Lothian Council, occupy the foot of her street in Deans South. She expects neighbours next month.
“I’m happy to see it,” she says. “Deans South is coming back to life. I’ll have neighbours and it will be the start of a proper community. It won’t be just a light in a cave. That’s what it’s felt like up here for years.”
