Locality Planning in West Lothian
Locality planning involves public sector organisations working with local communities and community organisations to, work out what local communities need and want, change the way that service providers work, deliver services that meet communities needs better and argue the case for additional resources, where they are needed. West Lothian is split into nine locality planning areas based on secondary school catchment areas.
