Project details Council Ward Linlithgow Project location Linlithgow Burgh Halls Project start date As soon as possible after award Project finish date No later than 31st March 2020 Project description Describe fully the project for which grant is being sought (background and context of the project, description of works). In 2015 following a consultation with the Linlithgow Community the Planning Forum identified the loss of the Tourist Information Centre as a serious loss to the Town as it was an excellent attraction being based in the basement of the Burgh Halls. The purpose of this project is to resurrect the Tourist Information Centre based on the entrance desk in the converted Burgh Halls as the desk is not currently used by the incumbents working within the Burgh Halls The management of the Burgh Halls have welcomed our proposals and it is envisaged that good working harmony with the West Lothian staff will be paramount. Staff training for the volunteers that will man the centre will be provided by Visit west Lothian in the first instance. The digital capabilities will be enhanced and a touch screen for information will be available when the centre is unmanned. A display rack for leaflets will be required as well as an information board in the Kirk Gate pointing into the Burgh Halls advertising Tourist Information, Burgh Halls Gallery, Burgh Halls Café and public toilets. The wall displays setting out Linlithgow’s history will be retained if possible It is envisaged the Tourist Centre will work in conjunction with the Burgh Trust, Community Development Trust, Pride & Passion, Transition Linlithgow, and Ione Linlithgow BID. We will ensure that any West Lothian Council enquiries are signposted to staff in the new Partnership Centre In addition, we expect to work closely with Visit West Lothian to promote West Lothian as a whole. Current Burgh Halls insurance, and security will cover public liability, health and safety and risk assessment Other outlets in the town currently have to answer questions from tourists which is not necessarily part of their remit so a central point armed with as much information as possible will help deflect tourists to the Burgh Halls and increase footfall there Page 3 Page 4 Evidence of need What evidence is there that your project is needed? It is vital that you show that you have identified the need for your project, eg letters of support, or local survey, see guidance for examples of how you can evidence this. Evidence is set out in Linlithgow for the Future version 1 2015 -30 the need being strongly felt then as it is today Linlithgow attracts thousands of visitors per year and at the moment they do not have a central point to speak to someone and find out more about the town. Linlithgow Palace is a major attraction for tourists with “Outlander” and “The Outlaw King” adding to the numbers who visit due to the actual history of the venue. By siting the Tourist Information Centre in the Burgh Halls and using strong signage at the entrance on Kirkgate, we believe that we could effectively encourage visitors to explore more of Linlithgow attractions such as Linlithgow Museum and the Canal centre as well as West Lothian as a whole. The volunteers in the Tourist Centre would be in a position to help direct coach drivers to the appropriate parking bays on Blackness Road, helping to alleviate the congestion on the Cross. Outcomes Describe what your project will deliver in line with the funding outcomes in appendix 1. Town Centre Living / Vibrant Local Economies /Enterprising Communities / Accessible Public Services / Digital Towns /Proactive Planning The resurrection of the Tourist Centre will right in the centre of town, properly advertised will attract people to ask what is available for sightseeing, hotels, transport, etc and have it all in one place and aligns well with the funding outcome at Appendix 1 Town Centre Living – increase footfall and attraction to shopping in the town as well as encourage local people to see what the town has to offer Tourists – The Palace, St Michael’s Church, Rose Garden, Museum are the big attractions for tourists and well trained and knowledgeable staff enhanced with discussion with local historian Bruce Jamieson can improve these attractions. MyLinlithgow is an excellent tool and will be open for all in the centre but having real people there is for a town like Linlithgow, which wants to promote tourism much more than we do at present, it needs the personal touch.

Background In February 2019 the Scottish Government announced, as part of their budget settlement within the local authority capital settlement, a new ring fenced capital fund of £50 million for a Town Centre Fund for 2019/20. The allocation of this fund was based on the Scotland’s Town Partnership working definition of a town being a place with a population of 1,000 or more, which equates to 484 towns across Scotland, 23 for West Lothian. This resulted in an allocation of £1.826 million to West Lothian. The purpose of the grant is to enable local authorities to stimulate and support placed based economic investments which encourage town centres to diversify and flourish, creating footfall through local improvements and partnerships. Specifically, this fund aims to contribute to transformative investments which drive local economic activities and re- purpose town centres to become more diverse, successful and sustainable.

  • Dear Fiona I Am Writing to Object to the Proposed Use of the Vacant Land
    From: XXXXXXXX Sent: 07 June 2011 01:33 To: McBrierty, Fiona Subject: Planning Brief Consultation Dear Fiona I am writing to object to the proposed use of the vacant land next to the Almondvale Roundabout (Junction with Alderstone Road and Charlesfield Road). At present this piece of land is a green area full of wildlife. • We need to preserve these conservation greenbelt linking areas within the town boundary. • The amenity of an open environment gives added value to the community and a sense of wellbeing. • The wooded areas are full of wild life mainly because they are undisturbed. This will not be the case if more housing is added. • The cemetery in Adambrae is quiet and serene. I am sure the residents of the town, and of the surrounding area, would like it to remain so. The site area of the cemetery will grow over the years to come and it would seem sensible if ground was available for that purpose. • 1 in 5 houses in Ireland are lying vacant due to the economic downturn caused by overproduction of housing. We do not want that to be the case here. There are plans for a considerable number of additional housing developments throughout West Lothian and this small area should be excluded. • The wildlife corridor must be preserved and should not be concreted over, when there are many other, non-wildlife sites, available. • The traffic is bad enough at the Almondvale roundabout without the addition of another arm. • Adambrae and Livingston village communities are quite respected small communities and the addition of extra housing could reduce their value.

It is one of a row of four properties, three of which are still single storey; the application property had its roof raised in 1987, without planning permission, and consequently is a two storey house, with the appearance of a chalet villa, with two upstairs bedrooms contained within the roof. The property is finished in white render and retains its original front elevation of two windows and an entrance door; there is an additional upstairs window to the front and back which was added when the roof was raised. The properties in Maukeshill Court are visually similar, and all have a small single detached garage to the west, enhancing the visual continuity of the streetscene. It is proposed to extend the property by integrating the garage and adding further accommodation to the upper floor.
