	Bathgate Lorry Plant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The name Bathgate is synonymous with that of a well-intentioned Government policy that went hopelessly wrong.
		Despite warnings from the manufacturing industry that this was a disastrous policy for the country as a whole, the Government still went ahead and rather than spreading the industry around in a “prosperity for all scenario” it just had the debilitating effect of reducing the strength of areas such as the West Midlands.
		When the recession came, in the 1980s, companies were less able to protect themselves with their assets scattered all over the country and the Lorry Factory that was opened at a cost of £12m in 1961, duly closed in 1985.
