Pitlochry Store Given Green Light
Councillors have agreed that building a supermarket in Pitlochry would turn the town into the 'hub' of highland Perthshire. The application, lodged by Sainsburys for 15,000 sqf store and 187 space car park on bridge road, was unanimously approved.
The retailer hopes to provide the local economy with between 150 and 200 part and full time jobs and to source dairy and meat products from local producers.
Ice Breaker
The cold weather has seen a desperado criminal logged a large block of ice at a parked car's window to gain entry to steal a cd player and some loose change.
While most petty criminals seem to be taking a break in the face of extreme weather conditions, the thief who smashed a VW people carrier in Perth's Appin Terrace at the weekend used the frozen deposits to their advantage. Anyone who has any information regarding the theft of the Sony cd play should contact Tayside police or crime stoppers
Appeal for Winter Woollies
Staff at Barnado's shops in Perth and Kinross are filling their rails with winter woollies and are appealing for more donations at the same time. Stocks of jumpers and coats are flying off the rails as the arctic weather continues. The charity's Area Business Manager Viv Miller said, "we really need people to look in their wardrobes and dig out any good quality coats, jumpers and boots, any winter warmers they haven't worn for a while and bring them down to their local store. Not only does the money raised from the sale of these items fund our work with disadvantaged children and families in the area, but our shops offer local families the opportunity to buy vital clothes at an affordable price.
