MP Visits Barratt Developments Site In East Calder

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.

The MP toured the development and met with David Scott, Managing Director of Barratt Developments West Scotland, and Stuart Dodson, Development Director. They discussed the planning and delivery of the new homes and how they will benefit the area.

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.

Gregor Poynton, MP for Livingston, said: "It was great to visit Valley Park and see how the development is blending modern, energy-efficient homes with the surrounding area's natural beauty. The work Barratt Developments is doing to create much-needed housing in such a well-connected location is highly important and will undoubtedly bring long-term benefits to the local community."

Near the villages of East Calder and Kirknewton, Valley Park is surrounded by acres of stunning countryside from Almondell & Calderwood Country Park to Jupiter Artland, making it a great base for outdoor adventure. It is also conveniently located between Edinburgh and Glasgow, offering excellent transport links to both cities.

Buyers can purchase from a selection of energy-efficient four-bed detached homes, all within close proximity to local shops, restaurants and attractions for the family.
