From Tuesday 2 – Thursday 4 February from their base at St Andrew’s Church, 21 Hamilton Green, Arbroath, DD11 1JG, the charrette team will invite local people, businesses and agencies to have their say on Arbroath’s future.

There is no need to register for any event; just turn up, join in and share your ideas!

Charrettes are collaborative events that bring together local people of all ages with highly qualified, experienced design and planning professionals. Together they seek to find solutions that will benefit the area over the short and long term. The Arbroath Talks programme has been developed by Angus Council with funding assistance from Scottish Government.

The people of Arbroath are being asked to speak up and have their say in the future of the town. Arbroath town centre is the latest area in Angus to have a design charrette – a consultation and design programme that gathers local opinions, ideas and aspirations, with a view to delivering a vision of what communities want over the short, medium and long term.

Brechin, Carnoustie and Forfar have recently taken part in these creative conversations, activities and events and had an intensive look at existing and possible future services, including housing, retail, leisure and tourism. Now it’s Arbroath’s turn to talk and organisers want to hear the voices of young and old.
