Meeting to decide City Hall future
A special meeting's to be held – to decide the future of Perth City Hall. Controversial plans for the Edwardian building have been in the pipeline for 4 years. Developers Wharfeside want to turn it into a mixed retail and community centre. Conservative group leader Alexander Stewart says there's a real lack of public information over the future of the hall. But Council leader Ian Miller says a special meeting has been agreed for September – to go through a report.
Good Grouse count for shooting season
It's good news for the beginning of the shooting season today – as the number of grouse is on the rise. A report by the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust shows their numbers are up 25 percent on last year. The news is especially welcome in Perthshire – as the grouse are attracted to areas with heather.
Graffiti wall could stop vandalism
Graffitti artists could be given an outlet in Perth – if proposals for special graffiti walls are approved today. The suggestion's been made for a space for graffiti artists to express themselves. It's hoped the idea will stop vandals from defacing other buildings. A low-cost graffiti clean up kit for homeowners has also been suggested. Councillors will consider the proposals today.
