With the outcome of East Lothian’s Council elections still in the balance across the county, the results for the Fa’side ward are now in.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
\"Shamin<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Long time councillors for Labour Jim Gillies and Donald Grant have been re-elected. Joining them for Labour is new recruit Shamin Akhtar (pictured centre front). For the SNP Kenny Macleod held his seat but his colleague Ruth Currie suffered at the hands of a strong local Labour campaign across Fa’side.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to all the re-elected and newly elected members for Fa’side. Pencaitland Community Council hopes to enjoy both fruitful and regular contact with all the elected councillors for the ward.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> The results have now been declared with Labour holding 10 councillors, the SNP 9, Conservatives with 3 and 1 independent. The Lib-dems have therefore been wiped from the political landscape in East Lothian. A full breakdown on the voting results can be found on East Lothian Council’s website<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
