A BID to ban booze in a North Berwick park was being proposed, reported the East Lothian Courier on May 10, 1996. An alcohol exclusion zone could be created in North Berwick as part of a joint police and community initiative to curb underage drinking in town. Plans are underway to ban alcohol from the Lodge Grounds public park – a popular haunt for teeny tipplers. A similar scheme is already operating in several streets in Prestonpans – the first town in the district to introduce no-go areas for public drinking – and police in North Berwick are keen to follow suit. They hope to get the backing of nearby residents and the local community council before taking the idea to East Lothian Licensing Board for formal approval.
This piece of land near Haddington Road and Law Primary School could become a long-term car park under the plans being suggested by East Lothian Council NEW proposals have been put forward to help ease North Berwick’s summer parking problems, with four more parking attendants now in place and a new car park near the primary school being mooted. The suggestions from East Lothian Council are not formal plans but could potentially be introduced for peak tourist season, when a number of coronavirus restrictions are expected to have been eased. Land owned by North Berwick Trust off Haddington Road, south-west of Law Primary School and next to Cala Homes’ Law Gardens development, could possibly become a long-stay car park with space for 120 vehicles.

The Rocketeer Restaurant owner Stirling Stewart had applied for planning permission to place a seating area on this grassy area adjoining the restaurant A RESTAURANT’S bid to offer outside seating for the next three years, on one of the most scenic and historic spots in North Berwick, has been refused. Stirling Stewart owns The Rocketeer Restaurant on Victoria Road and last year used the grassy land to the south of the restaurant at Anchor Green for a socially distanced outside seating area. The land is owned by Hew Dalrymple and is home to a Celtic cross monument to Catherine Watson, who died in 1889, aged 19, as she tried to rescue children swept out to sea.
