East Lothian Partnership Governance Group

The East Lothian Partnership Governance Group is the governing body of the wider East Lothian Partnership. The Governance Group's role is to provide strategic and collaborative leadership, driving performance and ensuring good governance to deliver the outcomes contained within the East Lothian Plan 2017-2027 (our Local Outcomes Improvement Plan).

The Governance Group also maintains an oversight of the six Locality Plans (referred to locally as 'Area Plans') and plays an enabling role in their delivery to help ensure they fulfil their purpose in terms of addressing inequality as defined in the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015.
