Perth and Kinross making poor progress says Shelter
Shelter Scotland today said Perth and Kinross Council is making poor progress towards meeting the 2012 commitment to end homelessness. The Scottish Government’s latest homelessness statistics reveal today the Council is failing to deliver, and is not making enough progress towards the commitment Perth and Kinross Council is one of seven councils who are failing to deliver. Graeme Brown, Director of Shelter Scotland, says that with only two years to go, the council needs to do more to meet this challenge.
New target set for tourism
A revised tourism partnership is to be launched later this week. Tourism is a key sector of the local economy generating over 400 million pounds a year. Perth and Kinross aims to grow the local tourism sector by 50% over the next 5 years. Enterprise and Infrastructure Committee Convenor John Kelly has stressed the importance of striving for an improvement in the industry.
Perth Music Festival to start

The festival provides a showcase for local bands and admission to all venues will be free. The Festival starts at 8pm on Thursday evening and runs until Sunday night.
Events Coordinator Sam Hume advised that a total of 29 bands will be playing during the festival so there should be something to suit everyone.
