Energy Efficiency proposal success on Perth housing estate
A proposal to drastically improve energy efficiency on a Perth housing estate has been a success. The Letham estate is among the first in Scotland to receive free energy checks in an attempt to reduce energy consumption within a community. The project is part of the Scottish government's new climate challenge fund. Over 600 Letham residents received free energy checks and were given advice to make substantial savings.
Perth 800 events for school children
Thousands of Perth and Kinross school children are to take part in a year of activities to mark the Perth 800 celebrations. Competitions, sporting events and a visit by the Scottish opera are among the activities taking place in local schools to mark the milestone. Pupils will also help to put together a time capsule given by the Royal Air Force Association, which will be buried in Perth as part of the festivities. The Perth 800 celebrations will involve more than a hundred events to mark the 800th anniversary of the granting of the Royal Burgh Charter to Perth by King William the Lion in 1210.
Licensing board angered over comments
And a group of councillors on the Perth and Kinross Licensing board have reacted angrily to comments made by the board convenor. Councillor Bob Band gave his backing to the government's controversial bid to set minimum pricing on alcohol. But other members of the board have said they were surprised to see reports of support on the issue. The issue is due to be discussed at a board meeting at the end of February.
