Councillor for Midlothian East
Peter Smaill has been your Conservative Councillor since 2017 and was Chair of Midlothian’s Audit Committee from 2013 to 2017. From 2018 to 2022, he served as Provost and Armed Forces Champion.
Using his commercial experience, he has successfully campaigned for changes to outdated financial rules that tie up the Council’s cash- which is badly needed for basic items like pothole repairs and park maintenance.
He has highlighted poor practice at Midlothian, where large sums of money were deposited with another Council which had a shocking reputation for financial sense and governance.
Peter Smaill will continue to strive for Council efficiency to benefit constituents.
