West Lothian church clock back in limelight after new LED system installed
A church clock that has sat in darkness for almost two years has been returned to the light thanks to a community campaign Bathgate's High Church clock will be lit up once again after an investigation by parishioners and the intervention of local Labour councillor Harry Cartmill. The town clock in the tower of the High Church had been in darkness for around 18 months until the councillor convinced the council to install new lighting at a cost of almost £1,000. The clock was lit up just before Easter, in time for the merger of St John's Church in Mid Street with the High Church in Gideon Street. It will now be known as Bathgate Parish Church. Councillor Cartmill told the Local Democracy Reporting Service it was a good news story for Easter.
