Traffic Light Junction Houstoun Road to Nettlehill Road Livingston, 8th February
I have attached pictures which show the accumulation of litter waste which has always been an ongoing issue at this location and leaving bags filled with litter at bus stops may be contributing to the rats being evident can I suggest, with regards to the blocked drain due to the litter waste, I noticed 2 Scottish Water Vehicles near the scene and 1 of the Scottish Water Vans also had a Pump! Hopefully this is for the Blocked Drain, not so sure Scottish Water do Litter Picking Though.

Rats due to Litter Waste - Mercedes BMW Dealer Houstoun Industrial Estate, 8th February
With regards to the Rats at the Mercedes BMW Garage mentioned in previous reports to Fix my Street, I have just returned from a daily walk to find no improvements seem to have been made. There is still excessive litter waste which may be why rats are evident. According to WLC it's down to the business owner to deal with this situation.

My West Lothian App, 8th February
When I send Fix my Street a Report I then receive an acknowledgement from WLC advising me to please use the My West Lothian App in Future. MY West Lothian is NOT reliable and this has been the case on and off for some time, when filling out the details on My West Lothian it simply does not recognise valid email addresses or contact numbers etc, this then prevents WLC from receiving reports, FIX MY STREET is way more reliable than My West Lothian App.

Speeding in Spottiswoode Gardens, 7th February
The 20 mph signs need repainted, it should be redone as 40 mph as that seems to be the average speed that most drivers do especially at school run time. Just a matter of time before there is a serious accident. I have previously requested that speed bumps be put in place to slow the traffic down.

Rats, 7th February
On my way home and heading through Houstoun Industrial Estate Livingston, I happened to catch Rats scuttling through a Grassed Area just outside the perimeter fence of the Mercedes & Bmw used car facility, I informed WLC who once again wriggled out of any responsibility stating that it's down to the business owners of the facility, my point to WLC would be that Prevention will always be better than cure! Rats Bredd and Multiply and obviously carry dangerous diseases not just for human but pets also.
DO WAKE UP HUMAN EARTHLINGS AT WLC CAN I SUGGEST!!!
