Kirriemuir and The Glens Partnership

Dates of future meetings: Please note that the Kirriemuir and The Glens Partnership is in abeyance. 

Whilst Partnership meetings have been put on hold, Community Planning activity is continuing to take place in the Kirriemuir and The Glens area through a new 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

• Coordination of town centre activities

• Development of a programme of events for the area

• Improved bus/travel links

• Promotion of the area as the 'Gateway to The Glens'

• Outdoor sports opportunities

• Biking festival

• Support to walking festivals/tours

Updates about this work will be posted on this website regularly.

The local partnership is important in relation to the development of Community Planning within Angus which is essentially about organisations and communities working together to provide better services and improve peoples quality of life. The partnership provides opportunities for the community to engage and become involved in future planning for the area and therefore influence change within their own communities. The development to the current situation started in Kirriemuir at a seminar in June 2003 and meetings since then have progressed to the present stage where the partnership is set up with a full partnership agreement, including a vision statement and covering constitutional matters.

The Kirriemuir and The Glens Partnership have been involved in various projects since their establishment and are currently focusing on their top three partnership priorities for the Kirriemuir and The Glens area: the creation of a community/arts centre for community use; the Peter Pan Walkway Project - regeneration of the town to encourage tourism and for community use; and supporting the Kirriemuir Youth Project - to improve the facilities and activities available to young people in the Kirriemuir and The Glens area.
