Milnathort to consider the creation of a wind turbine scheme
The Kinross-shire village of Milnathort will be considering the creation of a wind turbine scheme. Milnathort community council is leading the project itself in consultation with Social Investment Scotland and they believe it could be a huge benefit to the local area. But they have stressed it is a decision the community as a whole should be involved in and residents will be able to attend a public consultation.Funding for the 1.35 million pounds needed would hopefully be sourced by way of grants as well as a loan.
Scottish Ambulance assurances over local services
The Scottish Ambulance service has assured local politicians about its service in Perth and Kinross. Worries that rural Perthshire could suffer a diminished service were discussed at a meeting with key ambulance service officials. They've said there will be no reduction in the quality of ambulance cover across Perth and Kinross, either in terms of emergency services or patient transport. Conservative Councillor Alexander Stewart has said he was pleased to hear about the positive developments and better palliative care services.
