Auchterarder housing plans look set for go-ahead
Plans to create up to 800 homes to be built in Auchterarder seem set to be backed by councilors this week. Recommendations from planning chiefs are for the approval of a scheme for 177 new houses to built on a site closely linked to the existing community. These houses, 25 percent of which will be affordable, are part of a larger scheme described as one of the biggest infrastructures ever seen my the council. A decision on the proposals will be made by the development control committee tomorrow.
Police Road safety campaign begins
The annual Festive Road safety Campaign has been launched by Tayside Police, also with the other Scottish Forces. The campaign aims to tackle the issue of drink and drug drivers with officers taking action to place irresponsible drivers before the courts. This year also includes an initiative where courts can order the forfeiture of a drink driver's vehicle and if caught, these drivers will be kept in custody to appear in court on the first lawful day after their arrest. Considering that this could very well include the extended weekend and holiday period, the message is that it’s not worth the risk.
Eco-Schools Action fund secured for next year
The Perth and Kinross Eco-Schools Action Fund has secured funding for the next 12 months. Set up last year to encourage schools to achieve 'eco-school' status, support has been confirmed from companies glad to see the success and popularity of last year's programme. The Eco Schools project is an international programme supporting active citizenship and sustainable development. To gain an Eco Schools Green Flag, a school has to carry out projects that better help the environment, like energy efficiency, a reduction in water consumption or improvements to the school grounds.
