Consultation has concluded
Laurencekirk has a rich history as the town at the heart of the Mearns. It's a friendly, settled community in beautiful surroundings and has attracted many new residents over the the last two decades. .
The town has many advantages and strengths: it has a railway station; the Mearns Academy School Campus contains many facilities for the community; playing field facilities are still expanding; several community buildings have been refurbished to a high standard and continue to be well-run and well-used; there is a wide range of community activity, sporting, social and interest-based; Laurencekirk is also the shopping hub for the surrounding rural area.
Between 2001 and 2011, the population more or less doubled, and in 2021 continues to grow.
