Area Profile

View the Arbroath East & West Area Profile (500 KB PDF).

An area profile has now been developed for this area. Area Profiles are based on quality of life indicators and are useful to:

help local public service providers to identify where improvement is most needed locally;
make publicity available a summary of data and information on the quality of life and local services.

Local Community Plan

View the Arbroath East & West Community Plan (1.5 MB PDF).

The local community plan for Arbroath East and Lunan and Arbroath West and Letham sets out the work being undertaken and key developments planned by Community panning Partners along side key activities and community aspirations that community organisations are committed to working towards. As well as providing a focus for Community Planning activity at a local level, the plan provides a focus for key service providers and ACPP Thematic Groups.

The plan is ongoing and evolving, reflecting the changing needs and emerging priorities of our communities. This first plan takes us through the period 2011-2013. Thereafter a review will be undertaken which will involve checking progress against current priorities as well as setting out new activities and aspirations for the forthcoming period.

What is happening in Arbroath and the surrounding area?

The Local group, the Arbroath and Area Partnership, is working hard to make Arbroath area a better place to live in by getting things done.

How can this be achieved?

By members sharing their ideas and expertise to identify projects which will enhance the community and investigate how they can be funded.

Who is involved?

Any individual or organisation can join the Partnership, and a wide range of organisations are currently represented, including community and voluntary organisations, and statutory agencies. Becoming involved in the Partnership gives you an opportunity to influence how your community develops. The work of the Partnership is supported by the Arbroath and Area Local Community Planning Team.

What is currently being done?

No idea is too big or small and current projects include:

Celebrating Year of the Light in 2011 - the Bicentenary of the Bell Rock Lighthouse. Please visit www.angusahead.com/bellrocklighthouse to view Year of the Light celebrations and to download the Year of the Light Events Programme.
The Arbroath town centre regeneration strategy.
A collective marketing strategy for Arbroath shops.
A strategy to attract hotel providers to Arbroath.
Community involvement in the cinema and film programme in the Webster Memorial Theatre.
The Arbroath Cliff Top Safety Group project.
Celebrating Tartan Day in the Arbroath area.

Project ideas come from member organisations and local people. We work with organisations to help identify funding sources so ambitions are attainable.

Anyone interested in the future of Arbroath and its surrounding area is invited to get involved and everyone is most welcome.
