Council hits its targets

TARGETS to improve communities and the environment in East Lothian are being met, a report has claimed.

East Lothian Community Planning Partnership, comprising the council, emergency services, college and university sector, Scottish Enterprise as well as community and voluntary organisations, set itself a list of priorities to achieve as part of the East Lothian Single Outcome Agreement in 2009.

It aimed to safeguard jobs, improve employment, education and dental statistics and increase affordable housing.
