£90m bid to revitalise town

PLANS have been unveiled for a £90 million housing and shopping complex which developers say will create around 500 permanent jobs and revitalise a Scottish town.

Property developers Wallace Land have lodged a planning application with West Lothian Council to build 600 homes, a supermarket and a 60-bed residential care home in the Burghmuir area of Linlithgow.

The development, which will be linked to the M9 motorway, will also have a hotel and conference centre, a "neighbourhood centre" and a dance studio. Land will also be used to create a park and a network of green spaces for community use.
