Receiving funding from the UK Government’s £26.5 million Angus Fund, as part of the Tay Cities Region Deal, the proposed Rural Mobility Hub has the potential to deliver a step change in clean transport infrastructure, whilst creating skills and new career opportunities within Angus and the Tay Region.Īngus Council Leader, Councilor Beth Whiteside said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for us to hear the views from the community councils and those who live in Brechin, on the proposals for the new Rural Mobility Hub. The impressive proposal shows how the Rural Mobility Hub will focus on opportunities including an EV charging infrastructure, bus and HGV sustainable fuels (biogas and hydrogen), car sharing, logistics and business space to support the decarbonisation of vehicles, create new, local jobs through skills and training opportunities, and will provide logistics support for Angus and Tayside agricultural businesses and enterprises. Consultation is set to begin as Angus Council and Dalhousie Estates engage with local community councils, City of Brechin and District Community Council, and Inveresk Community Council to help shape their proposal for the Angus Rural Mobility Hub in Brechin.Įngagement with the community councils will begin over the winter months and will include sessions open to members of the public to inform how the new clean growth business park will integrate zero carbon energy systems with mobility services, particularly for rural service provision and skills opportunities.
