As Tayside Police warn of heavy handed tactics of sales calls, they have now issued a warning for bogus calls. The Force have had complaints from residents in Perth and Kinross over calls claiming to be from the Inland Revenue.

Bloom judges visit the Fair City

Britain in Bloom judges were in Perth last week examining the Fair City. They visited several displays and took time to listen to presentations. At the end of their tour they were met by Provost of Perth John Hulbert who took the time to highlight to them the Perth 800 celebrations. There are only nine finalists in Scotland to reach the required standards – with four of those coming from the Perth and Kinross area. The results will be announced at the end of September.

Relief for Grainger after weekend knock

St Johnstone secured a point at Tynecastle in the opening match of the season – hanging on after being reduced to ten men. One big worry for saints fans on Saturday afternoon was for Danny Grainger after he collided with the goal post and was stretchered off the park. We spoke with boss Derek McInnes this morning and he gave us an update on Danny’s condition saying, "Delighted to say there's no lasting damage to the ligament, it's more bruising as it was a fair impact he had on it. There was a concern but thankfully although he's a real doubt for Saturday he won't be out for too long and he's pretty relieved."
