East Lothian Council has announced a series of joint consultation events on plans to support their vision of an even more prosperous, safe and sustainable county, with a dynamic and thriving economy that enables people and communities to flourish.
The public events will be held in communities across the coming weeks to allow residents and partners to find out more about preparations for the Council's Local Development Plan 2, Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategy, Poverty Plan, Local Economy Strategy and Forestry Woodland Draft Strategy.
It follows approval of the Council Plan 2022-27, which sets out the strategic framework for how the council will respond to these and all the other challenges we face, with a focus on: recovery and renewal; reducing poverty and inequality; responding to the climate emergency.
The public drop in sessions arranged in each of East Lothian's main towns in June:
• Tuesday 13 June Regent Room and/or the concourse The Brunton, Musselburgh 1.30 to 7.30pm (Regent Room until 6.30pm)
• Friday 16 June Hope Rooms North Berwick 12.30 to 4pm

• Tuesday 27th June Musselburgh East Community learning Centre (games hall) noon to -6pm
• Wednesday 28 June Fraser Centre Tranent 4pm to 8pm
You can also complete the online or paper consultation survey to give us an idea of your thoughts on where you live, work or spend time in East Lothian and on any planning issues you think should be covered in LDP2.
