Angus Council's consultation with Monifieth residents about town centre improvements starts next week with a presentation to Monifieth Community Council.

The council is proposing a £250,000 programme of environmental improvements which include town centre gateways; lighting; street furniture and interpretative town history boards; and a review of the road layout and pedestrian crossings in the High Street.

Members of the council's Infrastructure Services department will be presenting the proposals at the meeting of Monifieth Community Council on Wednesday 11 February and again at the Monifieth Landward Partnership on Tuesday 17 February. Both meetings will take place at 7pm in the Burgh Chambers at Monifieth Library.


In addition there will be a display in the ACCESS Office and Tesco's store from Thursday 12 February until the end of March where a comment sheet will be available to allow people to submit their thoughts on the proposals. Comments can also be made online on the Have Your Say section of the council's website at http://www.angus.gov.uk/hys.

Infrastructure Services convener David May encouraged people to have their say on the council's proposals: "During the next couple of months I'd ask people to go along to the community council or partnership meetings and check out the displays in the ACCESS office and Tesco's and then tell us what they think of the proposals. That feedback will help shape the detailed designs to be taken forward for consideration by the council's Infrastructure Services Committee in June."
