| AdminHistory | A "Stage A" report, outlining the planned development of Phase II of Almondvale Shopping Centre was submitted to the Secretary of State for Scotland in 1980. Due to objection from other towns and the inability to gain funding, there were several false starts. In the 1990s Phase II of the Shopping Centre was taken forward by the owner of Phase I, Land Securities. The Corporation undertook work on improving other facilities in the town - such as the building of Almondvale boulevard, which runs along the north side of the town centre, and carried out improvements on the town square. |
