Anti-Violence Campaign
A high profile poster and postcard campaign aimed at ending violence towards woman has been launched. The initiative will see Tayside Police, the Woman's Rape and sexual abuse centre and Perth and Kinross Community Partnership work together to highlight the issue. The message featured on the posters and postcards is "drinking is not a crime, rape is". Chief Superintendent Craig Suttie said they hoped to give a "clear, unambiguous message that while drinking is not a crime, sexual abuse is."
Free Bus to avoid Traffic Chaos
Tonight sees Perth Light Night take place and families are being urged to leave the car at home and take the bus to avoid traffic chaos. Tens of thousands of people are expected to descend on the city centre tonight to take in the light show and firework display and parking spaces will definitely be few and far between.
A free bus service is being put on to help, it will run from Broxden Park through to Mill Street all evening. The event, which will see many of the city's landmarks lit up, marks an end to the Perth 800 celebrations
Network of Co-operation
Those living in the more remote corners of Highland Perthshire are trying to cut costs. They’ve started a "network of co-operation" to try and reduce the high price of rural living. A report by the Commission for Rural Communities has highlighted how expensive rural living can be compared to urban dwelling, sometimes as much as 20% more. However, the research also found communities have taken practical steps, which have slashed their expenses and brought neighbours closer together.For example, ordering items together online instead of doing a 40 mile round trip is just one of the ways.
