Errata

An errata was published on 25 March 2026 to correct statements on PDF pages 9 and 11. The role of the East Lothian Community Benefits SCIO had been misstated; it has now been clarified that although most community councils are members, the SCIO does not yet manage funds collectively and impacted communities currently make decisions on new community benefit funds.

The HTML and PDF versions have been updated accordingly.
