Whitburn Residents Consulted On Town Development Plan

Residents of Whitburn in West Lothian are being asked to take part in a consultation process focusing on the town.

Taking place over four days between Monday 30 March to Thursday 2 April, a series of planning and design workshops are being held with the aim of developing a masterplan for Whitburn.

"This masterplan will guide planned investment for Whitburn to create the maximum, positive impact for the local community, and identify any opportunities to bring in external funding to the town," a statement from West Lothian Council.

Executive councillor for development and transport Cathy Muldoon said: "This is a fantastic opportunity for Whitburn residents to get involved in setting out their own vision for the future of the town.

"The council hope that as many local people as possible will get involved in helping create a masterplan of the town that takes into account the views of a large number of local residents, businesses and other stakeholders."

The charrette is being undertaken by West Lothian Council. It is jointly funded by both the council and the Scottish Government, after the council submitted a successful bid to the Charrette Mainstreaming Programme 2014/15.

The exercise will be launched on Monday 30 March, and planning and design workshops will be held in Whitburn Burgh Halls between Tuesday 31 March and Thursday 2 April. Further feedback sessions will be held on Thursday 23 April.

Residents can also drop into the 'Design Studio' in the Burgh Halls between 09:30 - 21:00 on the Tuesday and 09:30 - 17:00 on the Wednesday.
