Police warn over knives
Following the conviction of David Barker for the murder of Robbie Thomson in Coupar Angus, Police have issued a warning to those who carry knives. Detective Inspector Greig Steele says carrying a knife does not make you invincible. He has warned that those who do could become murderers themselves. Knife culture in Perth and Kinross appears to be on the rise, with those convicted of carrying having doubled in the last few years.
Rail disruptions condemned by MSP
Disruptions to key Perthshire train services have been 'condemned' by a local politician. Following reports of stranded rail passengers at Blair Atholl, MSP Murdo Fraser has written to the Managing Director of First Scotland to express his dismay. Changes of service appear to have taken place with little or no notice, leaving tourists and locals in some instances with no means of travel. Mr Fraser is now demanding that improvements are made to services and that contingency plans should be created.
Scheme helps workers stay fit
Local businesses and employed are being offered free access to a range of specialist work health services. The new initiative is being rolled out in Perth and Kinross to tackle ill-health in the workplace. The project was launched in Dundee two years ago and is to now be extended to other parts of Tayside. The service will be able to offer help with common health problems such as back pain and skin conditions.
