Traffic Commissioner Ruling
A Perthshire bus firm has been ordered to remove 20% of its fleet from the roads after a wheel detached from one of its vehicles on the A90. Smith and Sons of Coupar Angus were reported to the Traffic Commissioner following the incident at Kinfauns in December. Defects in other buses, which rendered them un road worthy, were also later uncovered out at the firm. In a ruling issued yesterday, Traffic Commissioner, Joan Aitken said "It is extremely lucky that no one was hurt in this incident and that the driver was able to pull into a lay by in the nick of time".
Waste Fortnight Success
At the end of September, Comrie Development Trust, in partnership with Perth & Kinross Council, hosted the Comrie Zero Waste Fortnight encouraging the community to reduce, reuse and recycle their waste as much as possible. The community's efforts have paid off with householders reducing the amount of waste put in the green-lidded household bin by 2080 kg, a reduction of 13% in just two weeks. As a result, Comrie Primary School will receive a cheque for £146 from the Council, equivalent to the approximate costs of sending this amount of waste to landfill. The school is planning to spend the money on their outdoor Green Classroom.
