Spaces for People measures to be kept on in West Lothian town
Councillors in Linlithgow have agreed to keep improved footpaths and cycle lanes brought in under the Spaces for People (SfP) measures- a decision local Lib Dem councillor Sally Pattle branded “ridiculously easy.”
Only two SfP schemes- a cycle lane on the west side of St Ninian’s Road and parking restrictions at West Loaning- were recommended for removal by both Labour veteran councillor Tom Conn and councillor Pattle at a meeting of the town’s local area committee.
A report to the committee yesterday said: “The West Loaning parking at 183-245 High Street, Linlithgow should return to the pre-Covid conditions as there is adequate space to permit parking and the movement of pedestrians.”
What will likely stay is the cycle lane on the east side of St Ninian’s Road, the cycle lane on the B9080 Edinburgh Road.
Mr Brown is touring the meetings of local area committees outlining proposals made before Christmas regarding the future of measures introduced at the height of the pandemic through the SfP nationally funded programme, which Holyrood introduced to make public space more pedestrian friendly.
The programme was met with howls of protest from drivers because its signature act was the introduction of 20mph zones in 30mph areas. Many of these have now been removed.
Others including bus stops and road junction build-outs caused problems in some towns.
As was revealed yesterday however, in some villages they have been welcomed for improving safety of pedestrians in high foot traffic areas but also improving sight lines for drivers.
