Service focus by minister

A SCOTTISH Government minister visited East Lothian this week to see how the council is working to improve services.

Derek Mackay MSP, minister for Local Government and Planning, talked with councillors about provision before meeting representatives from the police, fire brigade, education and voluntary organisations.

Mr Mackay said: “This was a great opportunity to learn more about how East Lothian Council is providing services for its citizens and how it is continually working with its partners towards the improvement of those services.”
