A bid to shelve 37-year-old plans to close a road linking two local communities has been delayed after East Lothian's council leader called for it to be pushed back two months.
Conservative group leader Lachlan Bruce has called for the proposals to shut the Johnnie Cope Road, which is in his ward, to be put on hold and alternatives considered.
But at a council meeting on Tuesday. his motion was delayed after Councillor Norman Hampshire raised a successful 'procedural motion' asking it to be put back until the council meets in June to allow officers to produce a full report on the closure.
