Perth FM News - 19 Nov 09

Public Meeting tonight in Loch Rannoch

MP for Perth and North Perthshire Pete Wishart will tonight be holding a public meeting in the Loch Rannoch hotel. The meeting will be to discuss the public views on the proposed 'millionaire's playground' on the Dall Estate. Mr Wishart was concerned earlier this week, when it was revealed that neither the developer nor their agent had accepted his invitation. Conservation groups such as the RSPB and the Scottish National Heritage have already expressed their concerns on the impact the resort would have on the surrounding area.

SEPA evidence shows river flows in Tayside increasing

The Scottish Environmental Protection Agency has released evidence that shows river flows in Tayside are increasing. A joint initiative between SEPA and the Macauley Land Use Research Institute has resulted in the publication of a Water Quality Atlas for Scottish rivers, which shows the annual mean for the Tayside basin area.
Conservative MSP for Mid Scotland and Fife Murdo Fraser believes this means the Government should take action with improvements to flood prevention schemes.

Rally begins tonight at Scone Palace
