Supermarket plans recommended by Planning Dept
Controversial plans for a supermarket in Scone are being recommended by the Council's Planning Department. The Local Authority believe there is community support for the project despite there being 89 letters of objection received during the consultation period - and only two in support. The supermarket would be built on the current Scone Park and Ride site, with a 3500 square metre supermarket and 280 parking spaces. Campaigners have been out on the streets of Scone organising opposition as they believe it could have a negative impact on Scone's other stores.
City Status dinner takes place tonight in Westminster
Provost John Hulbert and MP Pete Wishart are tonight co-hosting a dinner in the House of Commons. The event is being held as part of the campaign to regain city status for Perth, which was lost in 1976 during Local Government re-organisation. It's hoped that the influential guests invited to dinner will help in having Perth recognised during the 800th anniversary celebrations. City status would bring many benefits to Perth, including those of a financial nature.
Funding for interschool basketball received
Today it was revealed that national funding will boost the development of interschool basketball in the area. The Perth and Kinross School Sport Planning Group has been awarded 660 pounds of Sportsmatch funding. This will be used to purchase equipment to help with running interschool tournaments for secondary schools. Interschool basketball is developing throughout Perth and Kinross schools and earlier on in the current school year, fifteen U15 teams came together at Bells' Sports Centre to take part in the P&K Schools Basketball Festival.
