John Muir House building update

August will see a number of council teams move into John Muir House as part of the ongoing relocation of staff from the Brunton Hall.

The East and Midlothian Public Protection Office and Bereavement team will move on 14 August while Arts service will transfer on 21 August. All contact telephone numbers will be transferred to provide continuity for customers and colleagues.

The new layout sees the Bereavement team in rooms next to Registration service, with whom they work closely, while the Arts service will be located close to the Brunton at Haddington Corn Exchange venue.

A new lease agreement is in the process of being agreed with the Fisherrow Trust for Criminal Justice Social Work Service to move to that building in the coming months.

The Mental Health team move to John Muir House was completed on 14 July. The team is now in the former first floor community housing office opposite the East Lothian Health and Social Care Partnership offices.

Signage across the building is presently being reviewed and will be updated in the coming months as part of the next phase of works.
