Salmon fishing season launched
The new salmon fishing season has been launched across Perthshire today at different points along the River Tay. MSP John Swinney officially launched the season at Dunkeld today, meanwhile both the Provost and MSP Murdo Fraser have been involved with the celebrations in Kenmore. It is estimated that the freshwater salmon industry is worth £60 million to the Scottish economy. The River Tay is internationally renowned for its Atlantic salmon fishing and is considered one of the best salmon rivers in the European Union.
PKC thanked for help with salt supplies
Perth and Kinross Council has been thanked by counterparts at Scottish Borders Council for supplying them with extra salt during the recent winter weather. Due to the management of its own supply, Perth and Kinross Council was able to loan Scottish Borders an extra 100 tonnes of salt. According to the Local Authority, they were never in danger of running low over the festive period. Perth and Kinross Council also came to the assistance of Fife Council, NHS Lothian and NHS Tayside during the cold spell.
Committee to visit Kinloch Rannoch
A Scottish Parliament committee is to visit Kinloch Rannoch this month to take advice from the community during its inquiry on out-of-hours healthcare provisions. Since NHS Tayside withdrew 24-hour GP services in the area, campaigners have been working to regain out-of-hours services. Questions have been raised on ambulance response times and dealings with NHS 24 with residents saying they will accept nothing less than a resident doctor to serve the village. The meeting is to be held on the 25th in the MacDonald Hotel and will be open to the public.
