Calls have been made to scrap plans to close a road linking two communities - 37 years after it was deemed 'unnecessary' by the local authority.
East Lothian Council resurrected a 1986 plan to shut the Johnnie Cope Road between the towns of Tranent and Prestonpans earlier this year.
Originally due to close when the A1 bypass opened in the Eighties the legislation was never fully introduced and the road remained open to traffic.
