Locals fear they’ll leave a mess on the public football pitches near to Jeanfield Swifts' riverside ground. They've set up dog kennels and its thought they planned to go fishing in the tay. Council officers have made the travellers aware of their responsibilities and expect them to leave next week.
Highland Perthshire village advertise for own GP
An adverts gone up in GP magazine to replace the out of hourse GP in Kinloch Rannoch. That's despite a decision by NHS to scrap the position altogether. Local residents have reacted angrily after NHS Tayside said there's no need for a round the clock GP in the area, and replaced it with a first response scheme. So residents have decided to advertise the job, to see how much feedback they get from medics willing to work in the highland Perthshire village.
