📣🏆 We are absolutely delighted to announce that the Citizen of the Year Award was presented last night to Graeme Newton! 🥳👏

A very well-deserved award! 🏆👏

🏆 CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR NEW MONTROSE CITIZEN OF THE YEAR – GRAEME NEWTON! 👏🎉

Last night, The Montrose Playhouse hosted the Montrose Community Trust Awards, a fantastic evening celebrating some truly amazing people who give up their time, energy and skills to help make our town and surrounding communities better places to live.

A huge congratulations to Graeme Newton, who was crowned Montrose Citizen of the Year 2026! 🏆

Graeme is one of those remarkable individuals who seems to be involved in everything! From Montrose Christmas Lights, Santa Claus Montrose and the Burns Club to Ferryden in Flower, Ferryden & Craig Community Council and countless local improvement projects.

Whether it’s improving parks and pathways, preserving our local heritage, planting flowers, organising festive celebrations or volunteering as a Blood Bike rider delivering vital medical supplies to hospitals, Graeme is always giving something back.

And despite everything he does, he always seems to find time to help someone else!

Graeme is a shining example of what community spirit is all about. ❤️

The Citizen of the Year Award is particularly special because it starts with nominations from YOU, the people of Montrose, before the recipient is selected by representatives from our three local Community Council groups.

👏 We also want to give a massive congratulations to this year’s other fantastic Citizen of the Year nominees:

⭐ Dale Gibb
⭐ Tony Murray
⭐ Isabella Byers
⭐ Matt Innes
⭐ Molly Thomson
⭐ Kerry Smith
⭐ Kay Piekarski
⭐ Sue Taylor

Every one of these individuals has been nominated because someone in our community recognised the difference they make. That alone is something to be incredibly proud of, and each deserves our thanks and recognition.

A huge well done also to every award recipient and nominee celebrated at last night’s Montrose Community Trust Awards.

Our town is incredibly fortunate to have so many dedicated volunteers, community groups and individuals working quietly behind the scenes, often without expecting any recognition or thanks.

It’s people like you who make Montrose such a fantastic place to live, work and visit. ❤️

👏 Well done to everyone, and especially Graeme – our new Citizen of the Year!

📢 Only a week left to have your say ‼️

The new improved Pothole Reporting Process is now live on our website, making it easier for members of the public to report potholes and track their repair progress.

You can access the Pothole Reporting Tool on our website - https://orlo.uk/hrwf5

The public reporting system has had an upgrade so that when a pothole is reported, users can access a map which allows them to see potholes that have currently been reported, avoiding duplicate reporting.

The system also allows for potholes to be reported, without the need for photographs to be included.

The user can choose to report the pothole and not be contacted or include their email address for notifications of progress. This will update them when the pothole has been assessed by the Roads Supervisors and categories showing when the pothole repair should be completed by according to our policy.

We'll be monitoring the new system and making improvements and updates where necessary.

In the future, updates to the system will allow us to engage with the repair Contractor and have them update the system and notifying the user when it has been repaired.

🎉 STOLEN TRAILER RECOVERED – GOOD NEWS! 🎉

We’re delighted to share a happy ending to our recent appeal regarding the trailer stolen from the Barns of Craig area.

Thanks to information provided by a member of the public, the trailer was located near Arbroath and has now been reunited with its very relieved owner! 👏

Evidence found at the scene also suggests the trailer may have been used in connection with a diesel theft.

A huge thank you to the member of the public who came forward with information. It really does show how valuable our community can be in helping one another.

🔦 As the darker nights draw in, we’d also like to remind everyone to remain vigilant, keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report anything unusual.

Thank you again to everyone who shared our original appeal and helped spread the word! 👏

🚨 STOLEN TRAILER – BARNS OF CRAIG 🚨

An Ifor Williams trailer was stolen from a field at Barns of Craig on Tuesday night.

At the time of the theft, the trailer had a Scotloo portable toilet on it. The toilet was later found dumped in a ditch between Bridge of Dun and Balwyllo, but the trailer is still missing.

The trailer was displaying the registration AP12 HAY at the time it was stolen.

📸 The trailer is similar to the one pictured, although the stolen trailer is approximately 15 years old.

If anyone saw anything suspicious, has any information, or may have CCTV or Ring doorbell footage that could help, please get in touch with us by DM.

Even the smallest piece of information may be useful, so please share. Thank you.
