Kirk clearance proves popular
A 'clearance sale' being held by St John's Kirk has already proved popular despite only just having been announced. As part of the Visions for the Future Project, 2.8 million pounds is to be spent improving the Kirk. As a result, some 400 wooden chairs that have been in the Kirk for almost 100 years are to be sold off. Property convenor for the Kirk, Roddy Young, says he's already fielded many phone calls from members of the public looking to get their hands on the chairs as momentos.
Tourism businesses receive boost
This weekend will see Perthshire tourism businesses receive a boost. A delegation of event organisers will be visiting the area to see what's on the menu for corporate events. Business events bring over 800 million pounds to the Scottish economy every year, so this visit is to allow local businesses to cash in on the lucrative market. Organised by VisitScotland, the familiarisation trip showcases hotels and experiences Perthshire offers.
Pre-school centre moved to temporary home
Children and staff from the Crieff Road Pre-School Centre in Perth will begin the new school year from a temporary home. Nearby Balhousie Primary are lending a hand while plans to repair the centre after storm damage in July continue. Summer services were moved previously to Goodlyburn, but steps have been taken by the council to identify a longer-term alternative location to meet the needs of the youngsters. Parents at both schools have been contacted to advise them of the arrangements.
