MP seeks meeting over job losses
Perth MP Pete Wishart is seeking a meeting with Arcadia, the parent company of BHS. Following the announcement that the Perth store will close, and be replaced with a new Primark store, Mr Wishart is concerned for staff members at the current store. His hope is to discuss their futures with some having been employed at the location for thirty years. No guarantees have so far been made over the current BHS staff being offered first interviews, or automatic retaining by the new retailer.
New Perth walk booklet launched
A booklet celebrating Perth's history was launched last night. Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust hope the booklet will help residents appreciate the town's attractions on foot. Perth Civic Trust decided to write the book in anticipation of this year’s Perth 800 event. The work features 4 walks around the heart of Perth, focusing on buildings that can be seen around the town today.

Neither SEPA nor the Scottish Government have a provision for compensation to be paid out to affected farmers and land managers. Conservative representative Murdo Fraser has now raised the issue in Parliament.
