There will also be a public workshop on Saturday 6 June from 10am to 12.30 at the Town House, Haddington to discuss a proposed strategy for Haddington town centre and the Haddington Retail Review. Disabled access is available.

The exhibition and workshop are part of a continuing consultation period that runs until 26 June. It is based on the Haddington Town Centre Strategy and the Haddington Retail Review Discussion Paper. These two papers highlight topics and raises questions about what improvements might be made to the centre and its shopping provision and will inform Council's assessment of major planning applications from supermarket companies Tesco and Sainsbury.

Free copies of the discussion paper and a summary of the draft town centre strategy are available during normal opening hours, from the Environment Reception in John Muir House, Haddington, Haddington Library, Newton Port, and from the Council's web site on the following pages.

Responses should be sent to the Council no later than Friday 26 June, 2009.
