"We wanted the Angus Design Awards to showcase the exceptional work and imagination of our talented designers and developers. I'm delighted to say it has exceeded all our expectations.
"Good design delivers benefits for everyone in Angus. For residents, it can reduce energy costs, improve health and well-being, enhance safety, engender civic pride and promote social inclusion. The creation of well-designed places where people want to live and to visit can also help to attract further investment in the area.
