PLANS have been unveiled for the creation of a new rural mobility hub in Brechin, as part of Angus Council’s long-term plans to drive sustainable development in the area.The local authority and Dalhousie Estates signed a memorandum of understanding to develop the hub within a regional business park to provide the infrastructure, services and skills programme needed to enable the Tay region’s transition to a low carbon, inclusive economy.Receiving funding from the UK Government’s £26.5 million Angus fund, as part of the Tay cities region deal, the council said that the new hub will be located on the A90 – halfway between Aberdeen and Dundee – and will integrate zero carbon energy systems with mobility services, enabling a ‘smart mobility infrastructure’.
