Traffic Speed Survey

Dechmont Infant School Improvements

SNP led West Lothian Council have announced £50,000 to be spent in improvements and repairs to Dechmont Infant School. Over the next 3 years essential maintenance will be carried out on the property included roof repairs.

Dechmont Playpark Upgrade

SNP/Action to Save St John’s controlled West Lothian Council have a five year rolling programme to upgrade the play parks in our area. The first play park to be upgraded under this scheme was the Dechmont play area adjacent to the infant school. 

Representatives of the contractors approached the Head Teacher and children of Dechmont Infant School to ascertain what the children would like to see happen to their play area.

The result is an excellent play area for our children to use.
