We are working hard to progress plans for a cycle circuit next to the Leisure Centre, as the first phase of a multi-sports development on the site. Fraser Falconer, LCDT Chair, said
“This sports development will be a fabulous facility not just for Linlithgow, but for people across West Lothian and beyond. We are truly excited about making it a reality”
November 22nd is the next staging post in our work with the Trust’s main partner West Lothian Council. Crucially, with West Lothian Council as an active partner in delivering the facility, this will save the project paying a VAT bill of over £200,000.
The first phase, with key national and local charitable funders, will deliver a 1km cycle track, the first of its kind in Scotland. And while this is being built our fundraising campaign for the skatepark and athletics facilities will begin.
Other Linlithgow Community Development Trust plans include using renewable energy for the floodlighting, with the sale of any surplus used to generate funds for reinvesting within the community.
