License Plate not up for sale
Perth and Kinross Council have said that the Provost's license plate will not be going up for sale anytime soon. The iconic plate with 'ES 1' has been used on the Provost's official car since 1954. As Scottish Council chiefs are being urged to sell private numbers to raise much needed cast for the Local Authorities, the civic history attached to this one means the Council has no plans to sell. In 2005 it was revealed the place could be worth up to 250 thousand pounds.
Etape opposers not to protest this year
Opponents of the Etape Caledonia Cycle event said yesterday that they will drop protest. Instead, the Anti-Closed Road Event group are putting their efforts into developing a open road alternative for 2012. Their decision to end demonstrations at the event was prompted partly by the attack on the race last year with carpet tacks. Peter Hounam, spokesperson for ACRE, insists the group happily welcome cyclists to Highland Perthshire.
Summer campaign launched
A new summer campaign for Perth was launched yesterday, with Councillor John Kellas showing his support in the sunshine of Tay Street. This year's campaign ties in with Perth 800 and has already caused concern for Fifers, who now worry that Perth will take visitors away from their towns. But Gillian Coyne of Perth City Centre Management believes this is the year to attract stay-cationers to enjoy what our city has to offer.
