admin-ajax

West Lothian Council has launched its public information campaign Winter Ready West Lothian 2015/16.

WEST LOTHIAN WINTER READY CLICK HERE FOR FURTHER INFORMATON

The campaign highlights the council’s preparations for possible severe weather and encourages local people to prepare now. Severe winter weather can include snow, frost and low temperatures, high winds and flooding.

More information is available at www.westlothian.gov.uk/winter

As with previous years the council has:

* Maintained salt stocks.

* Set up contracts with local suppliers for severe weather support.

* Provided an email alert service so that regular information can be sent direct to your inbox.

* Delivered refresher training to staff on all severe weather equipment.

* Published a Winter Ready supplement in the winter issue of Bulletin, the council newspaper.

The council is also asking residents and local businesses to help:

* Park sensibly – abandoned vehicles can cause serious issues.

* Share information with friends and neighbours, and spare a moment for vulnerable neighbours.

* Stay informed. Sign up for the email alert on the council’s website at www.westlothian.gov.uk/email, like the council Facebook page at www.facebook.com/westlothiancouncil or follow us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/lovewestlothian for updates.

* If you are able, clear the path and pavement in front of your home.

* Prepare your car and home ahead of the winter.

* Keep the winter issue of Bulletin handy.

* Parents and carers should also ensure that their child’s school has up to date contact information.

* Should severe weather hit, Groupcall is the way that schools will inform parents and carers about closures.

Christmas Fair

Thank you to everyone who came along to our Christmas Fair on Wednesday night.  It was great to see so many people on such a cold, wet night.

Total raised £1460

All funds raised are for playground improvements.  After resurfacing work, we have lost our playground markings.  The children would like a range of new playground markings and will be fully involved in the design process.

Huge thank you to the Parent Council and all helps who gave their valuable time to help make our Christmas Fair a super success.

Our Exciting Week!!!

Last term we were learning about the Post Office. We wanted to write a letter to a famous person. We had a vote and decided to write to the Queen to ask her some questions.

ON WEDNESDAY WE GOT A REPLY!!!!!!!Letter from the Queen

We got a letter from the Queen’s Lady-in-waiting along with some leaflets to learn more about her pets, crown jewels and Palaces.

Mrs Bowman’s hands were shaking when she had to open the envelope!

Today, Layla, Anton, Jay, Ava, Teresa, Lennon and Jamie told the rest of the school at assembly about our special delivery.
