West Lothian council priorities

No great surprises here: However further changes must also be on the cards since No5/A and no31 should be pulled out of Wester inch. That again could save another two buses, if not then the council has cleary screwed up somewhere because that means council services are still running on top of commercial routes. Also the No6 wastes 30mins doing nothing each hour so, if it make some adjustments maybe it will help keep some journeys on after 3pm.

Maybe West Lothian council will be able to buy a couple of strimmers and lawn mowers and start tidying up roadsides and footpaths ,never in 50 years have I seen the county in such a state as it is now,!!

Its master plan to allow more Bees and insects to grow. Doubtful lawn mowers are coming,

Scandalous how they get away with it ,not shy in putting Rents and CT up though, maybe that was so we could read what Ambulance says in Gaelic ....

How can we expect these councils to fund and operate a bus company when it can't even afford the basics like cutting grass. Utter madness!

I think it is more of a master plan by Unionist councils to cut or put up things people will appreciate in the hope the SNP government in Holyrood will get the blame.

Yes, it's shocking, wasting money on daft things like education and social care when there's grass to be cut.

Worst idea you ever had bringing whose fault it is but hey of it's a political platform let's have it , country was never in such a state before this rotten to the core Nationalist government was in power, can't focus on important issues for their total obsession with breaking up the UK !!

Education ? They built a school on contaminated ground
Health ? People are dying of bird ****
Welfare , families are relying on foodbanks!!
Where is the money oh yes baby baskets and some wild thing where some random gives parents advice on how to raise their kids !!

I could go on but the point was where do councils who cant afford a lawnmower going go get cash to run a bus operation?

I completely agree with your points but I don’t think @oldman was being entirely serious
