Welcome to the Pencaitland and District Community Council
Welcome to the official website of the Pencaitland and District Community Council! We are dedicated to representing the views of local residents and enhancing the quality of life in our neighbourhoods – fostering community spirit, providing funding for community initiatives and addressing the needs of residents.
PAD Community Council represent residents from across the villages of Pencaitland, New Winton, Boggs Holdings, Peaston and Glenkinchie in East Lothian. This involves close liaison with other community groups and helps develop a more coherent and dynamic village environment.
