While, like many, LCT have been frustrated at the lack of progress in repairs to #LinlithgowPalace we are looking forward to hearing the results of the recent survey, and plans for tackling the issues found.

Helicopters, rope access & frozen iPads. Our high-level masonry programme certainly has a lot of interesting moments!

We’ve restored full or partial access at around 30 of the sites we've inspected. Our Director of Operations updates on progress. https://t.co/8epbx75OIQ

What are your thoughts? 💭

We’re working on our first Regulatory Framework & are looking for your views.

What goals should be key in managing Scotland’s historic environment? What principles should the framework look like? 🤔

LCT were disheartened that @LoveWestLothian Development Management Committee granted planning permission for a 60-bed care home on former GM Flooring site, with a revised layout with 22 parking places, & a new T-junction on Falkirk Road for vehicles entering & leaving the site.

[LinlithgowCivicTrust @LinlithgowCivic]

LCT urges @LoveWestLothian to undertake a comprehensive safety review of this busy junction as soon as possible, and take suitable steps to reduce congestion and improve safety.
