Connect2 in doubt
The Connect2 foot and cycle bridge project has been dealt a potentially devastating blow. Perth and Kinross council revealed yesterday that one of the strategic landowners has advised that they wish to withdraw their support for the project, as they no longer want the bridge to cross their land. Council Leader Ian Miller spoke to Perth FM.
Flash Flood in City Centre
Devastated shop owners fought a desperate battle against rising water yesterday, after a dramatic flash flood forced the closure of Perth's New Row.A cordon was quickly thrown up around the street on the fringes of the town centre after the water began to accumulate at around two pm. The water was around two to three feet deep in places and representatives of Tayside Fire and Resuce quickly joined police officers at the scene. The water continued to flow for about an hour until the pipe responsible was identified and isolated.
