LPG Concerns
Families throughout Perthshire are facing a Christmas without any heating as temperatures show no signs of rising. Some properties are experiencing problems with their LPG despite orders being placed in some cases more than 3 weeks ago.
Several families have looked at trying to have fuel delivered by other suppliers but have been told that this would put them in breach of contract.As calls to some suppliers are increasing, levels of customer service seem to be decreasing with calls and emails not receiving any response.
Counterfeit Notes
Tayside Police is urgently appealing to retailers, businesses and members of the public to be on the guard against the use of counterfeit money. The force has received calls from shop keepers and staff over the past few days, that a range of counterfeit notes are being offered up as legal tender. Reports indicate that the forged notes are of various denominations and from various banking origins.
Officers are urging everyone in the Tayside community to be vigilant to contact the police if they receive a note they suspect to be counterfeit.

Anyone over the age of 16, writing in English or Scots anywhere in the world, is eligible to enter. The first prize is a week's writing course at one of the prestigious Arvon writers' centres, worth around six hundred pounds.
