The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Winchburgh Developments Limited (WDL) on being crowned Property Company of the Year 2024 at the prestigious Scottish Property Awards; understands that WDL won this top prize for being behind one of the most ambitious housebuilding projects in the UK; recognises the ongoing investment by the company in the West Lothian area and what it sees as the significant development milestones that it has achieved over the last 12 months with its infrastructure-first approach to community planning; understands that the ambitious town development for Winchburgh included the construction and opening of the new motorway junction 1B, which has directly connected Winchburgh to the M9 motorway, part-funding of a new bus service by Lothian Country Buses linking Winchburgh to Livingston, regeneration of the 85-acre Auldcathie District Park and the sale of Beatlie Road to Wheatley Group for 81 affordable housing units and apartments for social and mid-market rent; commends the company for also being runner-up for Regeneration Project of the Year, for its work on Auldcathie District Park, an 85-acre green space partly formed from the reclamation of a former landfill site, as part of a £6 million regeneration project by WDL to transform it into a multi-use space for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy, featuring more than 31,000 newly-planted trees, over 2.5km of running, walking and cycling loops, a biking track, extensive play areas and a popular community growing area, and congratulates WDL on its successes, which, it believes, are a testament to the hard work of its team and contractors, and also to the ongoing support of the local community.
