Community Councils are run on a voluntary basis by local people. They act as a vital link between East Lothian Council and the local area and give residents an opportunity to speak out on local issues of concern. Meetings are usually held once a month.
You nominate yourself for the role. The only restrictions are that you are over 16 years old and live in the Humbie, East and West Saltoun and Bolton area.
The nomination period runs from 1 September until 4pm on Thursday 18 September. Nomination forms are available to download, collect from ELC, John Muir House, Haddington, or by contacting the Election Office [email protected] or by calling 01620 820185.
Completed forms must be submitted by 4pm on 18 September.
An election will only be required if there are more people nominated than places available on the community council. Should any elections be necessary they will take place on Thursday 9 October.
* New appointments from October *
Come along to our next meeting to find out what we do and meet the current Community Council members. Everyone from the four villages and surrounding area is welcome.
Next meeting: 7.30pm, Tuesday 2nd September, Bolton Village Hall
We have a small budget to help make grants to support community groups, infrastructure and events.
The Community Council meets ten times a year, once a month except in July and August.
We raise awareness of community issues and liaise with East Lothian Council and Local Councillors.

Humbie, East & West Saltoun and Bolton Community Council
East Lothian Council is proposing changes to parking designation and payment for parking in Haddington. We recognise that these changes may be important for many of the residents living in and around the villages of Humbie, East Saltoun, West Saltoun and Bolton. There is more information about these plans on the Haddington Parking Consultation on the council’s website.
Members of the public can also complete the Haddington parking consultation questionnaire to help inform East Lothian Council’s actions. The consultation runs until 30th June.
For more information there is a drop-in event at the Haddington Corn Exchange on Thursday 12th June, 2-4.30pm and 6-8.30pm.
