New Ball Park in Scone is planned
Plans for a new ball park in Scone will go before the development control committee this week. The current plan is to build a ball court with fencing and lighting in the Recreation Park, similar to the tennis court already located nearby. However, the plans have split local opinions, with the council having received seven letter and a petition objecting to the development. Opposers insist the new location is too close to residential areas and could cause disturbances and are unhappy with the loss of open space.
Perth and Kinross bids to help young people into employment.
The UK government has created a one billion pound future jobs fund which aims to help young people into work placement programmes. Perth and Kinross council has made a bid for 675 thousand pounds to fund 30 six month placements for people ages 18-24. The placements would work over 18 months, meaning 90 young people could be helped by the scheme. The placements would provide training opportunities with local businesses, as well as provide support for writing a CV and interview skills.
Perthshire hotel has uncertain future
The future of a Perthshire hotel is still uncertain as the current owner confirms she will be retiring from the hotel business. The hotel and restaurant at the Kinnaird Estate near Dunkeld has been operating since 1990 and it's hoped it will be able to continue. Staff are beginning a one month consultation period. It is thought that falling bookings in the current econimic climate are to blame for the difficulties. The sporting, fishing and self catering holiday homes on the the estate are unaffected by the hotel’s problems and will continue operating.
