A Joint Awareness Seminar for Community Councils and Tenants’ associations in East Lothian was held at the Town House in Haddington last week. Here’s a summary from local community councillor Fiona Tennick.

This was organised (very effectively) in the Town House main hall by tables, rather than sitting in rows. Many people already knew each other and the whole thing was really a networking exercise, so I set about getting to know those around my table:
Irene Tait – Musselburgh Community Council
Councillor Jim Gillies
Mark Ormiston – Tenants’ Association, Ormiston
Joy Stewart – Tenants’ Association, Tranent
We were made to feel valuable, as the main line of communication between East Lothian Council and the communities attending; especially given the diversity of those communities.
