A New Home

Welcome to our web page about our proposals to deliver a vibrant, sustainable space at the site of the Former Oil Village, East Calder.

Here you will find details about our plans, how to engage and feedback and information about our upcoming public consultations.

Our proposals

The Oakbank site, currently underutilised, offers a unique opportunity to create a new home for Big Kid Circus. Our vision is to implement a phased development that will deliver new space that combines a multi-functional training school, community amenities, and a connection to nature.

Where and when

As part of our engagement with local people and stakeholders, we will be holding a two-stage consultation, with the first event due to take place on:

· 26 February 2025, 12pm – 7.30pm at Oakbank Bowling Club, Oakbank Road, East Calder, EH53 0BT.

· This will be followed up with a second event on 3 April 2025 from 12pm – 7.30pm at the same venue.

Details about our proposals

You will find copies of our digital boards on this page when our physical consultation takes place. This means you can still view all the information, even if you can’t make it to our event.
