Getting around East Lothian

Community and supported transport – is there a better way?

Transport and the ability to get around impacts on everyone in East Lothian. Addressing this issue can be challenging as the majority of public transport in the area is commercial, and outwith the control of East Lothian Community Planning Partnership. However, the Council does subsidise some bus services, and the NHS and the voluntary sector also provide many vital transport services in our communities.

Our Plan for the Future of East Lothian sets out what the Community Planning Partnership wants to achieve for our county in the future. This includes having well connected communities with sustainable forms of transport.

The Community Planning Partnership is holding a conference to raise awareness of the range of community and supported transport currently available in East Lothian. It is open to everyone, including providers and users of community and supported transport, as well as business and services providers whose clients use these services.

The conference will be held on Saturday 3 March 2012 in the Town House, Haddington (9.30am for a 10 am start, finishing 12.30 pm). Refreshment and crèche vailable. Booking is essential.

The programme is available here. To book a place, register here or phone 0131 653 4060.
