What do you see as the main failures of Midlothian council over the past decade?
When you enter Midlothian you immediately notice the difference compared to other council areas. West and East Lothian have better school results, planning is less influenced by councillors’ hunches. Communities interests there are not ignored as in Midlothian. Midlothian is a local authority that clearly has lost its way. The worst thing the council has done, and Councillor Peter Boyes was very much behind this, is without doubt the rash closure of the rural schools. The council railroaded that through in 2005 despite fierce opposition from parents and constituents and even though the schools were highly successful
