Land Securities is to purchase the former Council headquarters for £3M.
A decision of the council's executive committee on Tuesday 23 February has confirmed that Land Securities, who own The Centre retail development in Livingston, will purchase the building. The 1.038 hectare site is likely to be redeveloped for a retail usage with Primark amongst the names being mentioned as a possible new occupier on the site. The council had originally agreed to sell it for £4.26 million but Land Securities has since said it is unable to proceed with the deal because of the recession and negotiated the lower price. Council Leader Peter Johnston said: "We are pleased to move forward in selling our former home for £3million " West Lothian House has been sitting empty since the migration to the Civic Centre was completed late last year and its important this central site is returned to productive use as soon as possible."
