First social housing in 30 years to go ahead
A plan to make the first council-built social housing in Perth for thirty years was welcomed by councillors yesterday despite concerns from local people. Some residents say they have not been properly consulted over the plan which centres on land at Letham Primary school. Fifteen objection letters were received stating that yhe three storey flats were out of keeping with the area and could affect road safety.. Members of the council approved the application unanimously and a plan for 39 flats at the former Balgarvie Mill site in Scone was also approved.
Sainsbury's eye up Perth Mart site
Sainsbury's have lodged an application for a 40 million pound superstore on the outskirts of Perth. The supermarket chain say the development could create 500 jobs as well as create further employment during the construction stage. The proposal has been submitted to Perth and Kinross council and would occupy the former agricultural mart site at Crieff road. There is concern among the local community that such a development would add to the existing travel problems in Crieff road.
