Dear friends 

I’m delighted to be writing to invite you to the launch of the East Lammermuir Place Plan 2024 – 34 which will take place in Spott Village Hall on Tuesday 11 June at 7.00 in the evening. 

The community council undertook a wide-ranging survey of local residents in September 2023. After that we worked with the four local community associations and parish welfare association to hold two rounds of face to face consultations – followed up with focussed consideration of some individual village aspects last month. Over 250 local residents have been involved in the preparations. 

We will submit the final LPP to East Lothian Council in mid-May, and publish it online (and a few hard copies) at that point. 

This LPP goes beyond government guidance to set out the aspirations of people living and working in East Lammermuir for both land use and other important concerns. Given our unique situation these fall into four key linked themes;

• Managing Change in the Just Transition
• Getting around
• Our places
• The Land

We are inviting representatives of all local constituted bodies and groups to come to hear about the plan as a whole, and to think with us about how we can achieve the hopes and dreams we have all shared in making this plan together. 

Light refreshments will be available. 

Please rsvp to secretary@elcc.scot so we can make sure we have what we need!

I look forward to seeing you in June. 

Chris
