Montrose Together Partnership has folded after a failed bid to keep the group going.
The group, which in the past has been known as Montrose Area Partnership and Montrose Partnership, was established to promote the town and Ferryden and Hillside.
However, interest in the group has waned in recent years, with some meetings just attracting a handful of members.
At the start of last year the partnership’s difficulties came to light when it emerged that it has been unable to form a quorum to hold its annual general meeting.
There was sufficient interest for the group to continue last year, but attendance quickly dropped off again.
At its more recent meeting a decision was taken for the partnership to dissolve.
Chairman Janet Cowan said: “There was nobody from the other groups in the community coming to our meetings to tell us what they were doing or if we could help them.
“You could say they boycotted us. They stayed away.
“Invites were sent out every month for the meetings but no one turned up.”
In recent years the partnership has led a campaign to improve the look of closes in the town and produced several information leaflets. It also produced a postcard of Montrose last year.
A special general meeting was scheduled to take place on Monday afternoon to formally disband the group .
Montrose councillor David May said: “There was a meeting recently and again there weren’t enough members for a quorum, and that has been quite common.
“We had a long discussion about whether there was a need for the partnership anymore because in Montrose there are so many fantastic organisations in the town now that cover almost everything the partnership was there to do.
“Voluntary groups like the air heritage museum, the community council and Montrose Heritage Trust have been fantastic.
“The golf course and tennis club have done a lot of work promoting their facilities, Mo Fest is going from strength to strength and the flower project is looking great.
“These groups are doing all they can to promote Montrose and show what we have to offer so the partnership is no longer needed.”
