Two bids to the UK government’s Levelling Up fund have been rejected in the first round for West Lothian Council.
The council joined both Scotland’s largest cities, Edinburgh and Glasgow, in losing out when it came to Westminster decisions on which authorities and projects would benefit from the national fund.
West Lothian councillors gave their unanimous backing to the joint £15 million bid with Falkirk Council to the UK Government's Levelling Up fund at the last meeting of the Executive before the summer break.
