The 
new store in Montrose has been approved by Angus Council, overturning the recommended refusal by Angus Council Planning Officials. This gives a clear indication that Angus Planners are completely out of touch, in terms of common sense and public opinion. Have these officials been responsible for strangling valuable investment in the county in the past ? Have our councillors just gone along with their recommendations in the good times of the past because it was an easy ride ?
A clear example of the Planners strange logic is Whitehills Hospital where there is a drastic shortage of parking spaces for patients, staff and visitors, but enough land around the site to accomodate more – the excuse is apparently rooks are more important than ill humans who need to park close to the hospital!
Lets hope this is the start of a new trend where some clear COMMON SENSE is injected into planning decisions in Angus attracting more development and investment, leading to employment and work for hard pressed local businesses. Perhaps another step will be some focus on use of local business and trade in these developments.
Well done councillors !

Angus Council Squash Valuable Inward Investment in Angus – AGAIN !
Posted by lunanhead under Angus CouncilLeave a Comment
Angus Council are once again turning down valuable inward investment into the County by a major national retailer. This time it is Sainsbury in Montrose, being turned down because they apparently will not provide enough car parking space. The Dundee Courier carried this story today and indicate that Sainsbury have already amended their application once.
Do our local councillors never go shopping – when do they ever see the car parks at Tesco Forfar or Arbroath completely full, will the massive new car park at the new Asda Forfar ever be full? The Co-op car park at Academy Street stands mainly empty most of the time. Where is the sense in asking for such massive car parks from the retailers?
More to the point where is the common sense of our council in refusing such a valuable investment into the county at a time when the area is under severe economic pressure.
Angus Council do have a track record though – remember the fiasco of Asda Arbroath – literally years of wrangling with the council, again blocking valuable local investment in the county – for what reason ? we will probably never know, but if they carry on like this developers will quickly look elsewhere to invest their money.

EAST & OLD PARISH CHURCH FORFAR
Thursday evening 21 April 2011, 30+ members of East & Old Parish Church Forfar enjoyed a Maundy Thursday Service.
What is Maundy Thursday?
Maundy Thursday – also called Holy Thursday, is the beginning of the three day celebration of Easter – the most important time in the year for Christians. This period (‘The Triduum‘) is one big celebration, remembering the last supper, the crucifixion and the death of Jesus, and the Resurrection to new life.
Maundy Thursday commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with the Apostles.
The Last Supper
On this day, Christians remember the Last Supper. During the meal Jesus took bread and wine and shared them with his disciples. Christians continue to share bread and wine as part of their worship in church.
The Last Supper was probably a Passover meal – the meal which Jewish people share together to celebrate the time when God delivered Moses and the people from slavery in Egypt.
The night of Maundy Thursday is the night on which Jesus was betrayed by Judas in the Garden of Gethsemane.
