Traders team up for boost

PLANS to boost business in Broxburn are set to be stepped up this month, with local businesses asked to form a traders' association.

An initial meeting in June on the idea of an association attracted 13 local business people, all keen to get involved.

Am open meeting is now to be held in the main hall of Strathbrock Partnership Centre, West Main Street, Broxburn, from 6pm on Monday, July 21.

Traders will be asked what improvements could be made to the look of their town centres as West Lothian Council has allocated £105,000 for improvements.
