  • Friockheim to Arbroath, Wardmill Rd to St Vigeans, Phase 2 - Improvements to existing path continuing north from railway underpass to St Vigeans.
  • Angus Park Pedal – Arbroath, Forfar and Montrose - Delivery of a pilot that looks to offer inclusive led rides for children, families and those new (or returning) to cycling.
  • NCN1 Barry Station West, flooding improvements and resurfacing - Drainage works on a 500m stretch of NCN1 heading west from Station Road at Barry Station.
  • Lighting of NCN1 in Montrose - 1.7km stretch of path in Montrose from Marine Avenue to Broomfield Rd to be lit to encourage all year round use and improve safety and visibility for users.
  • NCN1 Improvements - to compliment funding from Walk, Wheel Cycle Trust
  • Cycle Storage - continuation of cycle storage project.


Tier 2 Projects

  • Friockheim to Arbroath – Detailed Design - Progression of detailed design for a route connecting Friockheim to Arbroath and further expanding the active travel corridor that is the A92 PFE scheme and the National Cycle network.
  • Montrose Train Station to High Street – Detailed Design - This detailed design work will pick up the key themes and produce detailed designs that will be used as part of future funding bids.
  • NCN1 Wharf Street, Montrose - Construction - Construction of improvements on Wharf Street in Montrose that includes new walking, wheeling and cycling paths coupled with additional accessibility improvements and a new signalised crossing.


Local Authority Direct Award Projects

  • Cycle Friendly Communities - This project looks to make communities across Angus more cycle friendly through increasing the use of bicycles for those most in need, the offering of affordable e-bike sharing solutions, delivery of Dr Bike activities and providing cycle buses at schools.


Sustrans National Cycle Network Development Projects

  • NCN1 - Easthaven to Panbride - Designs were progressed in 2025/26 which looks to improve conditions for walking and cycling through the provision of street lighting for the section of NCN1 that runs through Panbride. To further enhance safety for those using this section of the route, a new set of signals that prioritise active travel will be installed on the bridge over Craigmill Burn.


The current status of the above projects will be updated in due course and some of the scope of the projects may alter throughout the year.
