Good point, as we both share an interest in this we should meet for a chat as I suppose both of us are gettin fed up!

Village?

Is Polmont a village? I would have said either large village or small town. What is it most commonly referred to as in sources? --Mais oui! 18:20, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think to be a town a settlement needs a sizable town centre. Although Polmont has a population of approaching 6000 it has very limited shops and businesses on its main drag and it feels much more 'village like'. It's certainly seen as a village locally. 'Large village' would be a more suitable description I think. Broxi (UTC)

Officially, Polmont is a village of two villages, Polmont and Old Polmont. I agree that it is a large village in terms of area, but it is still relatively sparsely populated. There is only one small shopping unit in the region, which is not town-worthy. City status would be nice, though. JohnJohnJohnJohn 14:35, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

West Lothian

I've not heard of any plans or desires to transfer any part of Falkirk council area to West Lothian. Are there any sources that can be cited for this? Broxi 23:28, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The proposal was that the eastern side of Polmont would transfer from Falkirk Council to West Lothian Council, which I talked over with two local councillors. The plans were shelved back in around 2002, so it would appear to be a dead duck. I'll look for sources in the mean time, however. JohnJohnJohnJohn 14:29, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
