Housing Development Approved
Councillors have approved a major housing development on the outskirts of Methven this week. Members of the development control committee unanimously approved consent for 103 houses on a Greenfield site on the eastern edge of the village. The housing will be a mix of detached, semi-detached, terraced and flats. Twenty-four of the houses have been delegated as affordable.
Free Green Conference
Businesses are invited to a free green conference hosted by the Centre for Enterprise at Perth College UHI. The programme offers delegates the chance to learn about renewable technologies and opportunities for renewable energies within business. There will be the option of choosing two specialised workshops from a choice of solar thermal panels, wind turbines, biomass energy and heat pumps.
Registrations for the conference next Thursday must be made by Monday by calling 877207.
Lack of Disabled Access
Councillors have hit out at the disabled access at Perth and Kinross Council's old chambers on High Street for being completely unsuitable. After being alerted to the problem by a couple in her ward, Councillor Ann Cowan inspected a lift in the building, along with Councillor Heather Stewart and found it to be "inadequate".
A spokes person for the council admitted that it was a challenge to comply with legislation due to the layout of the old chambers. However, the lift is compliant with disabled access laws, although the council does recognise that it has limitations and that to date members of the public have raised no complaints about the issue.
