Police to frisk pub goers in Perth this summer
Police have warned that people may be frisked as they enter Perth pubs this summer. They're hoping by searching people out on the town, they'll reduce the number of violent incidents in city centre bars and clubs. They'll be looking to confiscate drugs and weapons. Detective Inspector Ian Martin says it’s to keep places safer over the busy summer months.
Taxi license regulations to be reviewed
Councillors have agreed to review taxi-licensing regulations in Perth and Kinross. It comes after a report was given to them this morning, showing licenses are being sold for more than fifty thousand pounds. Taxi drivers in Perth claim the figures are sometimes higher, and rent can be as much as one hundred and fifty pounds a week. Currently, there are only one hundred and ten licences in Perth. The council will consider increasing that number to reduce the problem.
