Tourism Increase Targets
Members of the enterprise and infrastructure committee have heard how the local authority plans to 'sharpen' the focus on the local tourism industry and get 'right people' involved.
Tourism in Perthshire is currently worth 400 millions pounds and employs 10,000 people, with a bid being made to increase this by 50% over the next five years.
Enterprise Convenor councillor John Kellis says that if Perthshire becomes successful in this then it is also a success for Scotland.
Proposed Parking Charges
While plans to introduce charges for parking on the streets surrounding Perth royal infirmary were welcomed yesterday, councillors have agreed that it is a solution that some people will find hard to accept.
Despite the introduction of the Ninewells bus link, the parking in and around the hospital is still an issue.
It was agreed that collaboration between the council and the local health board was needed.
A proposal to hold a public consultation to allow locals to have their say on the issue has been approved.
Young Riders Strike Gold
Two young horse riders from dunning struck gold at the weekend as they took part in a top endurance competition in northeast Scotland.
Fionnghula and Iain Paterson triumphed in their respective categories at the Home International and Celtic Challenge and endurance event.
Their mother Seonaid said that it is a huge achievement for two children to do so well at international level in what is basically an adult sport.
