Measures introduced in 2021 included temporarily reducing speed limits to either 20mph or 40mph, widening footways, suspending parking and introducing new cycle lanes.

The consultation into these measures in West Lothian was launched on December 1, 2021 and will be open until the end of January 2022.

Speaking about the local authority’s online consultation, Ms Hyslop (SNP) commented: “It is important for local people to have their say on matters which affect the local population, and West Lothian residents can do this through the ‘Spaces for People’ consultation.

“West Lothian Council are seeking people’s views on whether the measures that were put in place should be retained or not.
