second page... Speaking on Spokes behalf, Katharine Taylor said: "This has been a great voluntary effort by local Spokes members and by our skilled cartographer. "The new map will help residents and visitors find their way around the area in active and healthy ways, as well as showing new quiet routes and short cuts they didn't know existed!" Spokes members met at West Lothian Bike Library in Livingston for the launch of the map's fifth edition. Also in attendance were Bathgate and Linlithgow MP Kirsteen Sullivan and West Lothian Council's deputy provost Peter Heggie. Kirsteen said: "The new map is a fantastic resource for residents across West Lothian and Falkirk, helping cycUsts and walkers find safer and greener routes to work, school and for leisure activities. "This kind of voluntary effort in active travel plays a vital role in working towards healthier communities and a cleaner environment. A huge well done to all volunteers involved in delivering the updated map." Graeme Burton, the council's design engineering manager, gave an update to guests on planned active travel projects in the local authority area. The map was also printed with the support of the council. Deputy Provost Peter Heggie said: " I was delighted to attend this launch event and hope that people from West Lothian and beyond enjoy using this new map to explore our county."
