Angus Council

Angus Council pledges to:

Challenge ourselves to increase the positive impact we make on our local community and make better use of our assets – our buildings/grounds and our people.

In the next six months we will do at least three things that we don’t do at the moment to improve our social impact.

Signed by Margo Williamson, Chief Executive, February 2018.

1st Commitment

Deliver a programme of activity which promotes and supports the contributions of our young people under the banner of ‘the year of young people’.

Review our procurement practice to support young people to develop new learning and skills.

Launch a new Partnership strategy for engaging young people in planning and decision making.

Co-design and implement a participatory budgeting process for young people linked to Locality Plans.

Design and implement a participatory budgeting process in all four Angus Community Planning Partnership Locality areas creating a direct opportunity for citizens to be involved in taking decisions about improvements to their communities.

Lead a (health and social care funded) participatory budgeting initiative in Montrose focussed on improving health and well-being.
