Two public drop in events are being held over the development of a new state-of-the-art primary school in Livingston. West Lothian Council intends to submit a planning application for a new £24 million Craigshill Primary School on the site of Riverside Primary School, with pupils and staff from Riverside and Letham moving into the newly constructed school for the start of the academic term in August 2027. The drop in events take place on: • Tuesday 20 May between 3:30pm and 6:30pm at the Riverside Primary School, 14 The Mall, Livingston EH54 5ED. • Wednesday 21 May between 3:30pm and 6:30pm at the Craigsfarm Community Hub, Maree Walk, Livingston EH54 5BP. Exhibition boards outlining the details of the development and representatives of the applicant will be available to answer any questions. The drop in is part of the pre-application consultation process. No planning application has been submitted at this time. A dedicated website will go live from Monday 19 May and can be accessed at https://sway.cloud.microsoft/JBH19mvUvydYQVyA?ref=Link Comments can be made and questions asked at the event, via www.westlothian.gov.uk or in writing to Development Planning, West Lothian Civic Centre, Howden South Road, Livingston, EH54 6FF no later than Friday 30 May.
