A BEACH app which could offer visitors to East Lothian up-to-date advice on how to avoid the crowds is being given a £29,000 boost from East Lothian Council’s business recovery fund. Elected members voted to approve the cash injection, despite being warned by Councillor Jeremy Findlay (Con) they had to be able to “look people in East Lothian in the eye”. Mr Findlay had urged fellow councillors to amend the £600,000 business recovery plan put before them by officers to delay the funds until more information was provided about the app, which is being developed in partnership with the University of Edinburgh.
