Firefighters tackle Binn Farm blaze

Tayside Fire and Rescue were called out early this morning to tackle a blaze in Glenfarg. Crews were called to Binn Farm just before 2 o'clock this morning where one of the office buildings had caught fire. An appliance is still in attendance continuing to dampen out the area to ensure safety. There were no injuries reported, in part because of the timing of the blaze.

Pavement cafe drinks ban relaxed

A drinks ban in place on Perth’s Pavement Cafe area is to be relaxed for a trial period. Perth and Kinross Council's Licensing Board voted yesterday to allow cafes to allow alcohol to be served outdoors until 7pm until the end of October. A public consultation was held on the issue, which helped to sway the Councillors towards their decision. Conditions are still in place, however, meaning that premises can only serve alcohol if it is with food of a substantial nature.
