Crieff names as Boy Racer hot spot
A new report has found hotspots in Scotland with the highest proportion of young drivers with motoring convictions. Price comparison website moneysupermarket examined more than 3 million insurance claims. Three areas in Scotland were highlighted, including Crieff for their level of 'boy racers' in the area. Local MSP Liz Smith believes the introduction of Pass Plus to Schools may improve the skills of young drivers, and hopefully reduce the death toll on roads.
Fruit farmer's gangmaster charge
A Perthshire Fruit farmer has pled guilty after being caught using illegal workers. David Leslie Fruit ltd had used an unlicensed gangmaster to provide the Bulgarian workers for their farm in Perth. This was the first prosecution of its kind in Scotland under the Gangmasters Act of 2004. The company was fined 500 pounds for the offences.
Bungee plans approved
Councillors in Perthshire have given the go-ahead to what is claimed will be the first purpose-built bungee jump platform in Britain. The structure will be erected under the Garry Bridge, north of Pitlochry in highland Perthshire. Customers will plunge off the bridge towards the river 130 feet below, only to be snatched back by an elastic rope before they hit the water. It is hoped it will begin operating by May.
