A move aimed at helping to deliver a new railway station in Winchburgh could be given the green light next week.

Cruden Homes Limited could have an offer of over £1.2 million accepted to purchase residential land in Winchburgh. All the funding raised from the sale of this land would be invested to support affordable housing development by the council.

West Lothian Council is set to submit its final update to its Rapid Rehousing Transition Plan (RRTP) to the Scottish Government, providing an update on efforts to transition to a rapid rehousing approach in the area.

Proposals to launch a public consultation into changing the catchment areas for West Lothian's three denominational secondary schools and nine of their associated primary schools are set to be considered.

Scottish Ministers have overruled West Lothian Council's decision to refuse permission for a new housing development in Mid Calder.
