MP condemns parking hike
Graeme Morrice has said Land Securities, which owns car parks surrounding The Centre and Designer Outlet in Livingston town centre, has introduced a new 50p charge for the first hour of parking, while fees for two and three-hour stays have also risen.
Charges were first introduced at the area in June last year, despite public opposition.

“Now, just a little more than a year later, this hike in the charges show that the Centre’s owners are only interested in making more money from shoppers.”
