Welcome to the website of Coupar Angus & Bendochy Community Council. We hold public meetings on second Monday of each month, except January and July. Our next meeting will be our Annual General Meeting on Monday 12 May 2014 at the Town Hall at 7pm, when we will elect our chairman, secretary, treasurer and vice-chairman . We'd love to see you if you have any issues you wish to raise - or if you just want to hear the latest hot topics in the local area.
