Just to let everybody know that on Saturday there is a Cultural Parade which will result in the main street being closed through Broxburn from 3.30pm until 5.30pm . If the match finishes at it scheduled 90 minutes  the road out of Broxburn to Winchburgh will be the way to avoid Broxburn Main Street . We hope this does not cause to much inconvenience
