Local road assessment
The impact of the severe weather on roads and footways across Perth and Kinross will be assessed once conditions improve the council have said. Work was nearly complete on the damage caused during last winter,the worst for 30 years, when the big freeze struck. A spokesperson for the council said we will assess in due course when the conditions improve, what, if any, damage has been caused as a result of the winter weather and prioritise any repairs required.
Festive Road Safety Campaign
Tayside Police, along with all seven other Scottish forces, yesterday launched this year's Festive Road Safety Campaign. The four week campaign will predominantly focus on tackling drink and drug drivers, with officers seeking to remove irresponsible drivers from the road and place them before the courts and the earliest opportunity.
This year's campaign will also see officers enforce the Vehicle Forfeiture Initiative where courts can order the seizure and forfeiture of a drink driver's vehicle when they have had a previous conviction within the last 5 years for a drink or drug driving related offence or have a similar case pending.
Refuse Collections
The council has been making efforts for green lidded bin collections to carry on this week but the unexpected snowfall on Monday means that some properties were not reached yesterday.Every effort is being made to collect as much refuse and get to as many areas as possible, but the Council also needs the public's support in this by giving collection crews and their vehicles plenty of room to manoeuvre while they are out working, and by being prepared for frequent stops as they pick up bins.
