Last week we were were filming at the site of the proposed cycle circuit with Alan Corrie from Images above.

Alan captured this stunning view of where the cycle circuit will be built at Xcite Linlithgow.

We’re really excited about the photo because it’s the first time we’ve been able to show where the cycle circuit will be located in reality.

Our goal is to get more people, of all ages and abilities, riding bicycles. The 6 meter wide, 1km tarmac circuit, will be floodlit and fenced, it will be the perfect venue to build confidence on two wheels and start your cycling journey.

Many thanks to Alan for working with us. We’re busy putting the finishing touches to a promo video with Cameron Mason which will be released shortly

Alan specialises in drone photography, find out more about his work at https://www.imagesabove.co.uk

We’re looking for your views! What are your (and your family’s) cycling habits? What would a safe traffic-free cycling facility in Linlithgow mean to you? 

Fill out this 2-minute survey by Monday 5th August to be entered into a free prize draw!

In August 2018, detailed planning permission for the West Lothian Cycle Circuit was granted by West Lothian Council

Thank you to everyone who has helped contribute throughout the whole planning application process.

All efforts are now on securing the remaining funds for the Cycle Circuit project to progress to tendering, procurement and construction.

The target is to commence construction by April 2020

The circuit will be a fabulous community facility for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy the benefits of cycling.

Future phases of development within the site are also included within the planning permission, including a wheelpark, for skateboards, bikes and scooters, plus a suite of athletic track and field facilities. All very exciting!
