About Us
Musselburgh & Inveresk Community Council (MICC) is the local voice for people living in Musselburgh, Inveresk and Old Craighall.
We’re a voluntary, non-political group, acting as a link between local people and organisations like East Lothian Council, councillors, the police, and community groups.
What we do broadly falls into three areas:
Represent the community – raising local issues and making sure people are heard
Improve the town – delivering practical projects that make a visible difference
Bring people together – organising events and supporting community life.
Meetings
Our meetings are open to everyone. No need to be a regular—just come along, listen in, raise something, or get involved.
When: Every second Tuesday of the month
Time: 7:00pm – 9:00pm
Where: Musselburgh East Community Association, Haddington Road, EH21 8JJ
Find agenda for the next meeting and past minutes on our 'meetings' page.
What We’ve Done
We focus on practical improvements you can actually see and use—things that make Musselburgh feel cared for, welcoming, and worth being proud of.
Some of the work we’ve delivered over the years includes:
Town gateway sculptures – giving a proper sense of arrival
Restoration of the Old Hayweights and High Church clocks
Benches at the Memorial Fountain – making the space more usable
Prom improvements – including seating, landscaping and picnic areas
Lighting under the Rennie and Roman bridges – simple, but makes a big impact
Annual Christmas lights – bringing life into the town centre
What We’re Working On
We’re always looking at what’s needed next and where we can make a difference:
Facilitating the upcoming consultation evening on flood protection
Supporting Musselburgh in Bloom, Musselburgh Loop and The Summer Crew
Engaging with the community to influence East Lothian Council's plans for upcoming parking restrictions
Developing Community Place Plans to help shape Musselburgh’s future
Establishing the new Musselburgh Heritage group, which is is working towards an application for funding to bring the Old Town Hall back into use and
Annual Events
We take pride in running events that bring the whole town together:
The Annual Musselburgh Gala and Youth Games - a proper community day for families
Poppy Appeal fundraising - with local cadets
Remembrance Service at the Fountain
Torchlight Parade & Christmas Lights Switch-On - a real highlight of the year
