| AdminHistory | By 1989 a date of 1995 had been set for the commencement of the dissolution Livingston Development Corporation, with a projected timetable of 3 years. This was, however, superseded by the re-organisation of local government and the Windup Order was brought forward so that Livingston Development Corporation would dissolve on 31 March, 1997, at the same time as the creation of a new Local Authority.
As a result of the dissolution of the Corporation the c.500 staff were either transferred to the new unitary authority, West Lothian Council, or were given help in finding employment in other organisations. Staff secondments, especially in the housing department, began as early as 1993, whilst various departments of the Corporation transferred wholesale to the new council, the first of which was Planning in April 1996. |
