Re: Haddington Central TRA meeting for Herdmanflat

Good Morning,
Please be advised that we are holding a meeting at the West Church on the b16th of December from 10.30am.
This saturday meeting will be about Herdmanflat.
We have flyers so if anyone can help distribute then please email susan whom I have CC'd into this email. So please feel free in contacting her if you would like to help out.

Sadly I am very disappointed at ELC for their decision to post the Herdmanflat planning application so close to the Christmas Holidays especially as they had made a big statement at our last meeting they attended that this application would be made before the end of Summer so that there would be the opportunity for collaboration and discussion with residents and community groups. It seems to me they have decided to stall that, knowing that a longer delay plus being so close to the holidays, that this would reduce public involvement due to attrition. This is a tactic we have seen quite a few times here in East Lothian and in other councils to help push contentious or unpopular planning applications.

Anyway please come to the event and we can discuss our options and find a way for ELC to properly listen to us. I think it important that we all come together, especially when we disagree about things, so that we can work together to find viable solutions and the best path for ourselves, our communities and for the future of this town as engagement and discussion can only strengthen our communities.

It is also great to be back at the West Church so a special thanks to them for letting us use their lovely church space again. Please note that those with mobility issues can access via the gate just right of the stair entrance and its up the wee path to the side of the church.

So please take a note of the date and please feel free in circulating our very public and open meeting. Also please feel free in contacting me if you want to learn more about the TRA or community events.
Thank You.
Regards,
Stuart

Dear Stakeholder

Connecting Dunbar to Tranent

AECOM has been commissioned by East Lothian Council to provide technical support on proposals to deliver a high quality and inclusive active travel corridor between Dunbar and Tranent; further details are available on the project website: www.eastlothian.gov.uk/dunbar-to-tranent

As part of initial work, we are keen to receive comments from stakeholders to understand problems and opportunities related to walking, wheeling, cycling, public transport and placemaking along the study corridor.

The purpose of this e-mail is to make you aware of the project and to highlight how feedback can be provided.

Online Survey, which can be accessed at the following link: https://online1.snapsurveys.com/Dunbar-To-Tranent

The survey will be available until 11:59pm on Friday 15th September 2023.

Pop-up events will also be held at the following locations and times:

· Haddington: Square in front of Corn Exchange, Tuesday 29th August, 12pm to 4pm

· East Linton: The Mart, Thursday 31st August, 12pm to 4pm

· Tranent: High Street near Jackie Crookston Statue, Tuesday 5th September, 12pm to 4pm:

· Dunbar: Corner of High Street and Silver Street, Thursday 7th September, 12pm to 4pm

The study team will be in attendance and members of the public and stakeholders are invited to drop by at any time during these hours and share their thoughts on transport related problems and opportunities on the study corridor. Please note that there will be a second round of engagement, which is programmed to take place in the autumn; this will focus on potential proposals.

Any support that you can provide to help raise awareness of the Online Survey and upcoming drop in events would be most appreciated.

Should you have any queries or comments please do not hesitate to contact the study team at [email protected] Please do not reply to this email.



Kind regards







Regards



Simon

Would Haddington benefit from a tool library? Perhaps East Lintons is near enough? Are you a member?

Join Rosie Harrison for this first in a series of ‘How to….’ training events, a SCCAN collaboration with East Linton Tool Library.
