The Wester Hailes Land and Property Trust was set up in 1989 to promote the development of land and assets within Wester Hailes to the maximum benefit of the local community. In addition, LPT provides a property management service to both commercial tenants and community groups. LPT has now become an established partner in the economic regeneration and development of Wester Hailes and currently manages in excess of 75,000 square feet of modern commercial space (predominantly industrial). In addition, the LPT has advised on major development issues such as the Wester Hailes Town Centre and Sports Centre proposals. Currently it is the only community organisation in Wester Hailes with an economic development remit. LPT has been operating as a self-funding organisation since March 1997 prior to which it received financial support through the Urban Programme. It was set up to make sure that the community not only had a say in land and economic development in Wester Hailes, but also so that the area could benefit in terms of new resources, financial and otherwise. Their assets include properties used to deliver a range of services from childcare to a veterinary practice and a shop. By continuing to develop in this way, they hope to provide a lasting legacy to the people of Wester Hailes.
