City Hall public consultations to begin soon
A wide-ranging public consultation on the future of the Perth City Hall building is set to begin in February. The process is to start on Monday 15 February and will run for four weeks. It is hoped that as many people as possible will take part in the consultation when it starts. Questionnaires will be sent out to the 1,300 residents on the Council's Viewfinder panel and surveys will also be distributed to city centre businesses, asking for their comments. An online survey will also be available on the Council website.
Gateway Complex welcomes first retailer
Perth's new 9 million pound gateway complex is set to take a major step forward next month as it welcomes its first retailer. The Golf equipment supplier Nevada Bob's will be opening a superstore at the Inveralmond site. The Retail park suffered during the recession, as Perth and Kinross Council were adamant that a tourist attraction be provided on site before retailers could move in. However, with the economic downturn, the condition was removed, and retailers can now move in, though the largest unit is still reserved for a tourist related facility.
Gamekeepers concerned over low grouse numbers
Gamekeepers have raised concerns about the impact of freezing conditions and heavy snowfalls on this year's grouse shooting season on some Scots moors. Many estates have seen birds leaving as they struggle to uncover any heather. Perthshire is among the worst-affected as grouse move away in search of food. Concerns are now growing for the economic impact as all grouse moors are dependent on a good breeding stock.
