MIR Consultions
Residents of Perth and Kinross are being given the opportunity to have their say on the future provision of Council services in the face of unprecedented budget pressures. Perth & Kinross Council faces major financial challenges as a result of national budget cuts. Work has been ongoing for many months to explore options which will help find savings of around £38 million by 2013/14. To inform the decision-making process and to ensure that residents have the opportunity to air their opinions on what they see as priorities in terms of service provision, the Council has planned a range of public consultation and engagement activities. All residents will be invited to have their say from today, when an online questionnaire will be available on the Council website at www.pkc.gov/budget for a period of three weeks. Printed copies of the questionnaire will also be available on request.
Free Carer Training
The Princess Royal Trust Carers Centre (Perth & Kinross) is holding a free training session next Tuesday for unpaid carers who are looking after loved ones with Dementia. The session, running from 10.30am to 12.30pm at The Gateway in North Methven Street, will offer information on what dementia is and practical help and advice for caring. Speakers include Valerie Nelson from Perth & Kinross Council. The Princess Royal Trust Carers Centre, part of the local charity PKAVS, is in contact with over 500 adult carers across the Big County and the training session is open to any carer living in Perth & Kinross.
Miraculating Machine
Keep your eyes peeled on the 26th and 27th November, for a clanking tinkling spectacle of dysfunctional design may be coming your way. This is the Miraculating Machine. Here to provide the people of Perth with their very own free Stamping Service to commemorate the 800 year history of the city.
Artist Jessica Ramm is artist in residence for Perth 800. Her aim is to build an impossible looking stamping press to capture the imagination of the city and she is inviting the people of Perth to get involved by finding objects to be made into the machine. She is looking for alls sorts of things small, big. flat, round, vintage, made of metal, spiky or shiny any thing that you think might look good as part of a travelling machine. Jessica will be in the Garbologists shed at Friarton Depot Recycling Centre between 11 and 5 on Saturday ready to receive your donations. If you would prefer to bring a donation along at another time there is a recycling bin especially for the Miraculating Machine.
