What will happen to the open spaces in Livingston?
Many residents in Livingston own a share of open land or amenity ground near their homes. This is because when Livingston was developed, many residents were given a right of common ownership of open spaces, paths and parks. Most of this shared land is maintained by the local authority. Some of these open spaces are affected by the railway line work and, as such, all the residents who own a share of open spaces which are affected by the railway line work have received a notice. Where areas of common land are only required temporarily during the construction work, the land will be reinstated to its original condition in accordance with agreements with West Lothian Council.
