About

Livingston South ward encompasses the southern neighbourhoods of the town, including areas such as Deans, Dedridge, and Murieston. The landscape is characterised by residential housing, ranging from post-war developments to more modern estates, set within the framework of Livingston's original new town layout. The topography includes open parkland corridors and the valley of the Murieston Water, which runs through the area.

The ward contains several local retail centres serving the community, alongside primary schools and community facilities. A notable feature is the presence of the historic Dechmont Law, an ancient volcanic hill that rises prominently above the surrounding residential streets and provides extensive views across West Lothian. The area is connected by a network of pathways alongside its major roads.
