WORK is to start on a £36,000 project to relocate Musselburgh High Street bus stops in a bid to ease congestion and reduce journey times. The existing bus stop outside the police station, for local westbound buses, will have a ‘Keep Clear’ road marking downstream and a new bus lane on the approach to the stop, potentially operating Monday-Friday, 7am-6pm. A new bus stop will be created westbound at Costa for buses to the city. Eastbound, the existing bus stop outside Musselburgh Citizens Advice Bureau will be for coastal destinations, while a new stop at BrightHouse will be for ‘inland’ buses to destinations such as Wallyford, Tranent and Haddington.

on February 16, 1996. A refugee from Bosnia hopes her training at Longniddry Nursery School and supplies collected by pupils will help the people of her country when she returns home later this year. Majda Topic, 33, is on work placement at the school as part of a one-year college course in social care. The placement is until Easter, by which time Majda hopes to have learned enough about social care to return to her country and put her practical training to good use. The past five years of civil war have separated families and destroyed communities, but now that a shaky peace deal is in place, Majda hopes to help rebuild her country.
A decision to make a barber shop owner take down security shutters installed on advice of police has been branded a travesty by his local community council. Alan Mulholland spent more than £5,000 putting in the shutter at the Prestonpans branch of his Eskquire barbers shops after they were targeted by vandals last year. But when he applied for listed building consent for the change to the building, which is Category-C listed, officials refused ruling the pale grey shutters “harmful” to its historic character. Mr Mulholland has appealed to Scottish Ministers to overturn East Lothian Council’s decision and allow him to keep the security shutter, warning that forcing him to remove it could jeopardise his ability to keep the branch open.
A BARBER shop owner who installed a security shutter on the advice of police after a series of attacks says he may have to relocate from Prestonpans after he was ordered to remove it by planning officials. Alan Mulholland spent more than £5,000 putting in the shutter at the Prestonpans branch of his Eskquire barber shops after they were targeted by vandals last year. But when he applied for listed building consent for the change to the building, which is Category-C listed, officials ruled the pale grey shutters were “harmful” to its historic character. However, they did approve a separate application to be allowed to display the barber shop logo on the front of the shutter.
