An end to the isolation of West Lothian's 'island village' inched closer this week with the news that designs for a vital bridge crossing could be ready by March.
Engineers will begin site surveys at Stoneyburn crossroads for a new bridge linking Stoneyburn to Fauldhouse next week, with West Lothian Council keen to reach a deal to purchase land from its current owners.
Councillors welcomed confirmation of progress on the long awaited pathway link for Stoneyburn, branded by residents as an 'island village' due to a lack of cycle or walking links with their nearest shopping and medical facilities.
