Leisure Centre Up for Auction
A Perth Leisure Centre, which closed amid controversy two years ago, is set to go under the hammer. The Healthworks complex at Pitheavlis closed it's doors in 2008 after operators Norwich Union declared it was no longer financially viable. Now the Pitheavlis centre is to be auction by Edinburgh Firms SVA Property Auctions Ltd.
No guide price is listed for the auction, which is set to take place in Glasgow on November 23rd.
Locals Views Sought
Proposals that could see a third traffic crossing over the River Tay have been published for consultation as part of Perth & Kinross Council's strategy for shaping Perth's transport future. The strategy sets out the issues that must be addressed for the transport infrastructure to be fit to meet the future needs of residents, visitors and the local economy. Both local and through traffic is expected to increase in line with the future development of Perth and the wider region.
The consultation is seeking residents' views on the principal and location of the third crossing, and on their priorities for enhancements to the public transport, walking and cycling networks which would be included to support sustainable travel and the environment.
Air Quality Advice
Perth & Kinross Council has launched new web pages to outline what we can all do to improve the quality of air in the area. The pages at pkc.gov.uk/airquality are a way for the public to access information about air quality locally, and nationally, and get real-time data from our three monitoring stations. Two are in Perth and one is in Crieff. The pages also explain what the Council is doing to help reduce pollution, and also outline lifestyle changes that residents can make to do their bit. There is also a section for children. The aim is to allow people to make informed choices with regard to the kind of transport they use.
