The ELC has approved a new Economic Development plan at yesterday’s Cabinet meeting in Haddington. But what does it mean for rural East Lothian?
The strategy has set five objectives for East Lothian over the next ten years.

- To be Scotland’s leading coastal, leisure and food & drink destination
- To build on our proximity to Edinburgh to encourage study, work and spend in East Lothian
- To provide high quality employment pathways for East Lothian’s workforce
- To become Scotland’s most sustainable local economy
