Our vision for Brechin and Montrose is linked to the vision for Angus outlined in the Local Outcomes Improvement Plan.
We see a future in which:
Economy
- we make the best of our unique economic assets to grow the local and Angus-wide economy
- businesses are thriving and growing
- there is local, well-paid, employment for the people who live in the area and they take advantage of this
- our locality is also a competitive location for employers and a ‘ must go to’ destination for local, national and international visitors
People
- our people enjoy good physical, emotional and mental wellbeing
- they live healthy and active lives, free from the impact of poverty and inequality
- our children and young people succeed and reach their highest possible levels of achievement and attainment
- there are clear pathways for young people to follow when they leave school and they are all well supported to make a positive transition to further learning or work opportunities that are aspirational
- we all work well together to support more vulnerable families in our communities and we take action as soon as possible when there are signs of things beginning to go wrong
- our communities take good care of those who are elderly or infirm and there are good, well coordinated arrangements for providing health and social care which enable people to remain in their own homes and communities for as long as possible
Place
- the Brechin and Montrose locality is a desirable place to live, work and visit.
- town centres are vibrant, villages welcoming and value is placed on the spectacular rural landscape and natural environment
- the quality of housing is good and meets the needs of the different people who live in our communities
