New Guide launches at Grammar School
A new guide for small businesses on how to bid for public sector catering contracts was launched today at Perth Grammar School. The secondary school is currently shortlisted for the Scottish Education 'Get Scotland Active' 2010 awards and is considered an example of the success schools can have in providing pupils with healthy food. It's hoped that this new guide will help local farmers and rural businesses supply food for schools, colleges, hospitals and prisons. The Scottish Agricultural Organisation Society produced the brochure.
Perth cold case dates to 1866
Police Forces in Scotland have confirmed that there are 77 unsolved murder cases still on file, 10 of which relate to Tayside Police. Most cold cases only date back to 1975, but Tayside Police still has two from before the First World War. The oldest unsolved murder in Scotland took place in Perth in 1866, when Janet Henderson was killed on a farm in Forgandenny. Unsolved Homicides are never closed, as new evidence could come to light, considering advances in technology.
Council house proposals announced
Perth and Kinross Council has announced proposals to build Council Houses in Perthshire. 45 new homes in Methven, Scone, Pitlochry and Alyth could go ahead at a cost of over 5 million pounds. A meeting of Councillors today approved a bid to the Scottish Government for 1.3 million, which would part fund the project. The rest of the funding will come from the Council Tax Fund on Second Homes and from prudential borrowing.
