COMMUNITY VIEWS NEEDED!
​What do you think about your community  - and how do you feel it could be improved as a place to live in, work in or visit?

Blairgowrie & Rattray published its first ever Community Action Plan in 2018, generating several initiatives and improvements across the town. With so many changes since then, not least the impact of Covid, it is now time to refresh the Plan to make sure it continues to
address the needs and wishes of the local community.

A Steering Group of local community groups and organisations has been formed to launch a review of the Community Action Plan
They have put together a short SURVEY so that you can share your views – it takes minutes to complete and is your opportunity to have your say about what you would like to see change in your town.

​Please get involved and have your say in the future of your community. Your views really do matter!
