Calls by a Bathgate councillor for a root and branch review of traffic and road safety in the town have been rejected at a meeting of West Lothian Council.
Councillor Willie Boyle tried to raise a motion at this month’s meeting of the full council for a wider study on the town’s traffic issues - but he took no account of the costs of carrying out such a study and the motion was ruled invalid.
There have long been complaints about congestion in the centre of Bathgate and poor parking in the town.
