Countryside development consultants, Urban Animation, working for Lennoxlove Estates, are holding an ‘open door’ day at the Fletcher Hall, East Saltoun from 2.30pm to 7.30pm on Tuesday 27th September. They would like to meet residents of East Saltoun to listen to their ideas for development of the village area.
East Lothian Council is currently formulating a new Local Development Plan (LDP) which will shape the direction of development in the region for the coming years. Part of this process was a Rural Housing Survey carried out earlier this year. Urban Animation’s research in East Saltoun will inform Lennoxlove Estates in their planning and submissions to East Lothian Council. We encourage the community to ensure that the voices of local residents are well understood as part of this process. Do take the opportunity to share your views.
In light of the very sad news of the death of Her Majesty the Queen, the bells of the four churches in our parish will ring at 12 noon today.
If you would like a place for personal prayer and reflection, Humbie Church is open all day, and Yester, Bolton and Saltoun Churches will all be open between 2pm and 3pm today.
On Sunday, in place of the Communion service previously planned, we are going to have a service of reflection, still at 10am in Bolton Church.
There are still places available for the upcoming Poverty Conference on Thursday 8th September in East Lothian. Contact Alison Brown at Volunteer East Lothian on [email protected] for more information about the conference and attendance.
In partnership with EnvironMental Health, East Lothian Council are delighted to be offering funded spaces on their First Aid For Mental Course to Community Practitioners and Volunteers in the East Lothian area. See below for course dates.
These spaces are funded by the East Lothian Community Mental Health & Wellbeing Fund.
