Barratt Developments West Scotland hosted Gregor Poynton, MP for Livingston, at its Valley Park site to showcase the progress of the new homes being built and the positive impact on the local community.

David Scott, Managing Director of Barratt Developments West Scotland, said: "It was a pleasure to host Mr Poynton at Valley Park. The visit was both enjoyable and productive, providing a great opportunity to highlight how we've turned this site into a vibrant community with high-quality, energy-efficient homes.
