Campaignors set to head to parliament rally
Campaignors in Perth who oppose the proposed incinerator for Shore Road are taking part in a rally at the Scottish parliament. Due to take place on the 1st of October is a national gathering protesting the spread of municipal waste incineration throughout Scotland. The outline consent for the project in Perth would feature a 260-foot chimney stack and local residents are worried about its effects. They hope a change in government policy would be the most effective way to ensure proposals such as those in Perth, don't get the green light.
Funding to transform Kinross eyesore
Funding of 150 thousand pounds is set to transform a Kinross eyesore after years of neglect. The Swansacre building on the High Street in Kinross has lain empty for as long as some locals can remember. A new partnership between Perth and Kinross Council and the Hillcrest housing association is set to transform the building into affordable housing. Other funding awards have been allocated to Perthshire Housing association and to the Kingdom Housing association for similar projects.
Air ambulance to serve Perthshire Community
An air ambulance is set to serve a remote Perthshire Community. Kinloch Rannoch is to become the first area in Tayside to receive its out of hours cover in this way. The move came after ministers from the Scottish Government felt the planned first responder scheme using local volunteers was inadequate. Doctors and paramedics from Glasgow will be on board for emergency treatment, while the area continues its search for a GP based locally, to be available round the clock.
