West lothian not paying for any trams but they do have the large new civic centre, the cost of which will possibly match their black hole..? In the mid 20 noughties all local authorities started speculating in property development and indeed investment in Icelandic banks. This is now coming back to bite them. Edinburgh same plus trams. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13572#post-168034 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 10:20:36 +0000 CycleCommute.CC 168034@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Roads in West Lothian are in a much better state than Edinburgh at present.
