At today's Policy and Resource Committee (2 May) Angus Council confirmed its commitment to the new Monifieth Learning Campus. Costs have risen by £10.5 million to £66.5 million, due to extreme volatility of construction costs, but funding does include increased borrowing.

The Angus road network is heavily impacted by the heavy and persistent rain. PLEASE do not attempt to drive through flooded roads as rescuing people is taking up a lot of valuable time from resilience partners. Latest road closure information: orlo.uk/3vB1V
