Background information

Forfar and Area Partnership

Community planning is about organisations and communities working together to make Angus a better place to live, and in the burgh of Forfar there are people and organisations working together in order to influence the way services are delivered in the Forfar area.

The Forfar and Area Partnership is a local community planning partnership. The purpose of the Forfar and Area Partnership is to encourage representatives of the voluntary, private and public sectors to act together to develop the economic, social and environmental potential of Forfar and surrounding area.

Since its establishment in February 2006 the Forfar and Area Partnership has been working towards a number of agreed priorities including:

The local community planning team is also involved in a number of other initiatives in the area. This includes bringing together a number of interested parties to consider joint work towards tackling anti-social behaviour and other community safety issues in the town. In addition, the team is working with three local groups on proposals for enhancements to two visitor attractions in the Forfar area. The team would encourage anyone with an idea for how to improve Forfar to get in touch.
