West Lothian Spaces for People projects land council with £100,000 bill

The controversial Spaces for People programme will leave West Lothian Council with a bill of more than £100,000.

This will cover the costs of removing some temporary measures and making permanent those supported in communities including Linlithgow and East Calder.

The money will come from existing Roads department budgets, a report to the West Lothian Council’s Executive said.
