Our vision for the future is that Angus is a great place to live, work and visit.

The Community Plan is the Angus Community Planning and Locality Implementation Partnership tool put in place to tackle the things that matter most to people and will make a positive difference to people in Angus.

Communities lie at the heart of community planning: they can and do achieve things for themselves, and we need to build on this and increase the level of influence and control that local people have over the decisions and services that have an impact on their lives. Working together makes it easier to improve outcomes and tackle the inequalities that some people experience.

Our Community Plan is based on the five national strategic objectives:

• wealthier and fairer
• smarter
• healthier
• safer and stronger
• greener

In addition, we have identified three priority areas for Angus, which we will be focussing on first, they are:

• reducing child poverty

• improving mental health and wellbeing

• improving accessibility and connectivity

In combination with local community groups we are already running a number of schemes and projects that help make improvements in these areas (see the video below for one example), but there is still much more we could do.

We need your ideas for ways we can make significant improvements to these priority areas for people in Angus.

You will be able to enter your ideas here, and also comment and vote on other people's ideas. To start things off, we have entered five initial ideas, which we are keen to know your thoughts on.
