The dog’s owner Roddy Hill told councillors at a meeting of West Lothian Council’s executive that the driver had stopped after hitting the dog and shouted at him before speeding off.
Neighbours in a Livingston street have raised a petition demanding action against speeding drivers after a series of incidents culminated in a pet dog being killed.
Miss Johnston told the executive that many young families now lived in the area with children of nursery and primary age going to nearby schools. The street has also become far busier with the growing use of delivery vans. Glen Road has speed bumps on it and drivers avoid them by driving around Glen Crescent. Ms Johnston told councillors: “Glen Crescent is a rat run.”

“Where once we were an ‘older’ group of residents, we now have numerous households with nursery, primary and secondary age children and have to acknowledge the risk to us all. The installation of traffic calming measures at both ends of Glen Crescent has become imperative.”
