Roadworks to have ‘significant impact’ on Forfar and Kirriemuir
Angus Council is warning of disruption in Forfar and Kirriemuir town centres when road and pavement repairs get under way in the new year.
The local authority has said the work in both towns will have a “significant impact”.
Recognising the impact it will have, it has set up a dedicated web page to keep the public and business updated during January and February.
The council said: “We will be carrying out road and pavement repairs in Forfar and Kirriemuir town centres early in the new year.
“Work in Forfar will be done throughout most of January 2026, while the work in Kirriemuir will happen during all of January and February.
“We are providing a dedicated Angus Engage webpage to provide information and updates about both of these essential road and pavement repairs. This page is where we'll provide information and any updates as work progresses. Businesses requiring support can also contact [email protected](External link) and we will be happy to speak to them."
Work in Forfar is scheduled to start on Monday, January 5, with roadworks in Castle Street and The Cross, with some repairs to the pavement in Castle Street too. Local businesses chose this time of year as it was the least disruptive to their trade.
Work, carried out by Tayside Contracts, will be completed in three phases to try to minimise town centre disruption. The planned completion date, weather and any unforeseen circumstances permitting, is Friday 30 January.
Road and pavement repairs will be carried out in Kirriemuir town centre during January and February. Work is also scheduled to start on Monday, January 5, beginning on Bank Street and High Street. To try to minimise disruption in the town centre, the works will be done in two phases.
Temporary traffic regulation orders will be in place to allow for associated road restrictions, parking, loading, and no waiting to be put in place. Information about these will be available on the council’s Traffic Orders webpage. Notices will also be available through the relevant communication channels, including local newspapers.
