Incinorator patience wearing thin
Perth and North Perthshire MP, Pete Wishart, is insisting that Perth and Kinross Council swiftly resolve the issue concerning the proposed incinerator. He hopes to ensure that revocation of the original planning consent is the main option when it comes before the full Council. Mr Wishart has warned that patience is wearing thin, as it has now been 10 weeks since the development control committee asked for a new report. There are fears the council could face compensation claims by Grundon, should they revoke the original outline consent.

The lorry jackknifed as he was crossing the Coronation Bridge, causing the cab to collide with the parapet and break off from the trailer.

New mentor pilot scheme launched
A new initiative aiming to boost the potential of young people by teaming them up with a mentor is being piloted in Perth and Kinross. Plus One Mentoring will match up a volunteer mentor to a young person in a commitment that's hoped to last for the long term. The youths are aged fifteen or under and referred to the programme by the local authority. It is hoped that the programme will create positivity and make a real difference to those in need for additional encouragement.
