East Lothian window shut

THE window for voters to nominate candidates for their community council in East Lothian has closed.

Seats on 20 community councils will be up for grabs on October 4, with candidates expected to have a “keen interest in the area to really influence the future of their community”. According to depute provost Jim Gillies:“The community councils have a say in such matters as planning, roads, local events and environmental improvements.”
