A new Blindwells Prospectus has now been published, setting out the potential benefits that the site could bring locally, regionally, nationally and to the UK as a whole. It highlights the importance of planned support and investment both now and in the years beyond the Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Deal period. East Lothian Council, working with private sector partners, is seeking to unlock these strategic benefits through the development of a business case under the ESES Deal for Government consideration. Government and wider public and private sector support will be essential to realise the full potential of Blindwells as a well-planned, well-connected new settlement with economic opportunities as well as warm, energy efficient homes, including affordable homes, which can help to address inequality, child poverty and productivity across the region.
