Postal Dates
Despite the poor weather conditions and the challenges facing the Royal Mail, they are keen to remind us of the need to post our Christmas mail early. The last dates for posting are already looming with today being the last date for posting to friends and family in Australia, New Zealand, Africa, Central America, the Middle and Far East and Asia. Ian McKay, Royal Mails Director of Scottish affairs spoke to Perth fm.
SITA Application
Plans to extend the life of a controversial Perthshire landfill site have been submitted. SITA UK, which operates the Binn Farm landfill near Perth, has submitted a proposal of application notice to Perth and Kinross Council. It outlines its proposal to change the closure date of the landfill. Present regulations would see the tipping stop in June 2014 but SITA has applied to continue for a further four years, to June 2018.
Support for the Elderly
Perth and Kinross council has been taking special steps to ensure elderly and vulnerable residents receive the support they need in the severe weather. It has deployed six 4 x 4 vehicles with drivers to help care staff reach service users in rural areas. The community meals service provider also delivered a two week supply of meals earlier this week to all residents who receive this service. Additionally they have had a very positive response to an appeal to staff with 4 x 4 vehicles to volunteer their services.
