Crash victim identified
The victim of a crash yesterday afternoon has now been identified. The woman who died on the Huntingtower to Crieff Road just after 1 o’clock yesterday has been named as Carrie Anderson of Crieff. The collision between a car and minivan took place half a mile from Madderty, at what is locally known as the St David's to Madderty crossroads. Emergency services were quick to attend, but despite their efforts, Carrie was pronounced dead at the scene. The others involved in the crash were not injured.
Birks hydro-plans blocked by councillors
The proposed hydro-electric power scheme in Aberfeldy has been blocked by councillors. It received planning permission last April but the town's Common Good Fund, which owns the land, said it would not allow the development to go ahead unless certain conditions were met. The development would affect the River Tay Special Area of Conservation and Birks of Aberfeldy Site of Special Scientific Interest. Although the committee has rejected the proposal they have left the door open for the company to come back with a revised scheme once concerns in specific areas have been met.
Perth brewery calls for relaxation on taxation
An independent Perth brewery has added its voice to calls for additional taxation policies on alcohol to be relaxed. The Inveralmond Brewery Limited, a local manufacturer and one clutch of the Society of Independent Brewers, fears the tax could affect the industry's future. In its annual report SIBA publishes its pre-election manifesto which asks government to reconsider the punitive taxation policies it claims will be fatal to the future of local brewing. The 12 year old Inveralmond Brewery has ten members of staff and has just opened a new plant to produce its range of ales.
