​

MVT is:

• Open and transparent

​​

Our Memorandum and Articles have the following objects:

​

1.1.  To provide within Muthill recreational facilities, or organise recreational activities, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the persons for whom the facilities or activities are primarily intended

​

1.2.  To advance environmental protection and improvement in the community through the provision, maintenance and/or improvement of public open space and other public amenities and other environmental and regeneration projects (but subject to appropriate safeguards to ensure that the public benefits so arising clearly outweigh any private benefit thereby conferred on private landowners)

​

1.3.   To advance heritage and/ or preserve, for the benefit of the general public, the historical, architectural and constructional heritage that may exist in the Muthill area in buildings (including any structure or erection, and any part of a building as so defined) of particular beauty or historical, architectural or constructional interest

​

1.4.  To advance citizenship and/or community development (including the promotion of civic responsibility and the promotion of the voluntary sector and/or the effectiveness or efficiency of charities)

​

But such that the company shall do so following principles of sustainable development.
