| AdminHistory | There were 721 properties in existence when the area that was to become Livingston was designated in 1962. By 1977, this number, mainly through planned demolition, had been reduced to 395, of which 207 were local authority housing stock. The remaining old houses had a variety of fates - some were simply demolished, some were damaged by fire and demolished, others were leased to caretakers. One of the most notable uses of the old, pre-existing buildings in the Livingston area was their conversion into community centres, a policy actively pursued, where possible, after the conversion of Craigsfarm in the Craigshill area of Livingston in the late 1960s. |
| ScopeandContent | 19 files comprising:
1-3. General management files relating to the acquisition, development, use and disposition of properties acquired by the Corporation on designation, 1965-1996.
4-20. Files on individual, old properties held by the Corporation, organised alphabetically by name of property. These files cover every aspect of management of Corporation property - tenants, refurbishment, sales and so on, and so they give a reasonable overview of how the different Corporation departments interacted, 1932-1996. |
