West Lothian villagers win fight against park and ride plans

Plans for a 50 space park and ride facility at Kirknewton station have been rejected - the fourth time the proposal has been knocked back.

Councillors on West Lothian’s Development Management committee could not accept tweaks made to plans after the latest version came before them a month ago. Stirling Developments had worked with the planners to increase the width of the footpath access from the park and ride car park to the station.

But, crucially, nothing could be done with the most dangerous and narrowest 45 metres of pavement, still leaving the footpath as narrow as 1.2m in places. Only 60 metres of pavement could be improved.
