Local Action Group

The Tyne Esk Local Action Group (LAG) has responsibility for the delivery of LEADER in Midlothian and East Lothian. It ensures that the management and delivery of the Programme will remain locally led and reflects the views of its wider membership; representation includes community groups, voluntary organisations and statutory agencies in the area. Those appointed form the decision making body and are equal partners in the LAG.

Who else is involved in the Tyne Esk LEADER programme?

LAG Advisory Group

The LAG Advisory Group provides additional specialist insight to guide the LAG on particular issues, either with regard to individual projects, programme delivery or strategic fit.

Community Planning Partnerships

The Tyne Esk Local Development strategy sets out a strong fit with both the East Lothian and Midlothian Community Plans. The programme will ensure effective two-way communication between the LAG and the appropriate community planning structures in each area, a process that will be assisted by the cross-membership of the various bodies.
