A new butcher’s shop has officially opened in East Calder. ‌

The ribbon was cut on the Dewar Family Butcher’s store at J&R Veitch Garden Centre by Livingston MP Gregor Poynton, who called on developers to live up to promises of delivering more facilities for the community. ‌

The opening ceremony, alongside owner David “Davy” Dewar, was attended by a large crowd of local residents, with the shop quickly bustling with customers eager to support the new venture. ‌

Davy is currently recruiting staff for the new shop and has also been in discussion about how the wider site at J&R Veitch Garden Centre could be developed into a community hub, with improved green space and facilities to serve both East Calder and Calderwood.
