Pilot Project
Whilst the Kirriemuir and The Glens Partnership is in abeyance (see below for background information regarding the Kirriemuir and The Glens Partnership), Community Planning activity is continuing to take place in the Kirriemuir and The Glens area through a local community planning pilot project which is focusing specifically on tourism in the area.
The Pilot Project Group is focusing on sustainable developments that will boost tourism in the area particularly supporting the community in their work for the 150th celebration in 2010 of JM Barrie's birth but other longer term projects also.
These include:
- Support to Kirriemuir Town Hall development
- Town improvements
- Development of links with the Cairngorms National Park
- Promotion of the area as the 'Gateway to The Glens'
- Outdoor sports opportunities
- Biking festival
- Support to walking festivals/tours
Updates about the Pilot will be posted on this website regularly.
The local community planning team is also involved in a number of other initiatives in the area. This includes
- the proposed development of a community garden in the town centre;
- support for a local Mountaineering Club;
- working with pupils at Webster's High School on an entrance feature for Kirriemuir Hill;
- supporting the Community Voice initiative in the town; and
- working towards the production of a calendar of events for 2010.
The team would encourage anyone with an idea for how to improve Kirriemuir and surrounding areas to get in touch.
