🏘️ A new policy has been approved by East Lothian Council to help empower local organisations and community groups to take on the management of council-owned land and buildings for the benefit of residents.

The new Community Benefit Subsidised Lease Policy will support groups delivering real community value by offering discounted leases where positive local outcomes can be demonstrated.
