Worries for power line announcement
A decision on the Beauly to Denny powerline is expected by the end of this year, however there are worries from local politicians that the announcement won't be made in Parliament. MSP Murdo Fraser has called on the Scottish Government to be more transparent and allow the decision to be scrutinised when it's announced. The power line upgrade is possibly the biggest planning application the Scottish Government has seen and the public consultation period has been long. Communities in Perthshire will be affected, and are asking for the lines to be put underground to avoid adverse affects.
Scone supermarket plans attract MP's attention
A Local MP has written to Perth and Kinross Council's Head of Planning after a committee granted outline planning consent this week for a supermarket in Scone. MP Pete Wishart had previously met with residents who were opposed to having a supermarket in the village, currently planned for the Park and Ride site. The council received only 2 letters in support, and over 80 in opposition but believed the silent majority would welcome the new addition. Mr Wishart's letter includes the concerns raised by residents, including the possible effect on the current retail outlets as well as questioning the need for another supermarket in the area.
Public consultation proposed over City Hall
Proposals are to be put forward at the next Full Council meeting for public consultation on the future of the City Hall. If approved, the process will begin in January and the report details three different options comprising re-use, demolishing or partial demolishing of the Hall. Consultations will take many forms, with online questionnaires and focus groups.
