Join one of our walkabouts!
We want to hear from our residents. Tell us what you think about where you live.
Walkabouts
Once a month, council housing officers and ward councillors will be visiting a Midlothian town for a walkabout to inspect it for any issues and to speak to local residents to hear their concerns.
Reports
Reports will be compiled following these visits and then forwarded to the appropriate council teams to pick up on any issues. These reports will also be shared on the council website.
All welcome
All local council and private residents are invited to attend these walkabouts which last two hours.
