New village signs
We have shiny new village signs at the entrances to the village. They have been paid for by the Haddington and Lammermuir Partnership and installed by the Roads Department. Similar signs have been provided for all villages in the area.
The Community Council were asked to publish the consultation for the signs on the website, which they posted on the website in November, but they have no responsibility for them. If you have any queries about the signs please contact the Council’s Roads Department. Thank you.
