Correct history of St John’s

Dear Editor, – While it is wonderful to see an article about St John’s Scottish Episcopal Church, pictured, in the Know Your Perth section of the Perthshire Advertiser, I feel I must correct some of the given facts. Read

Suspicious minds at work over supermarket

Dear Editor, – What is it about contentious planning applications that kindles in the mind a form of suspicion so strong that inevitably gives rise to mistrust of local authority, akin to the national sentiment over a government which has “lost all moral authority?” (Quote Caroline Lucas, Green Party, whose aspiration was towards “government not overshadowed by corporate lobbying.”) Read

Reward after break-in

Dear Editor, – I had my car broken into on Sunday while at the Scottish Downhill race at the Hermitage just outside Dunkeld. Read

It’s a ‘depressing time for the health of UK democracy’

Dear Editor, – The last few weeks have been a depressing time for anyone concerned about the health of our democracy.

It’s time for Wharfside to step aside

Dear Editor, – Like most readers, I have followed the City Halls debate with great interest, and MP Pete Wishart’s announcement on local Radio (Monday, May 24) of the decision by Perth Council to procrastinate further on the issue and delay a decision on the Wharfside proposals should be taken by all as a positive. Comments from John Bullough and others are quite correct with regard to the intentions of Wharfside, these people have had their chance and ‘It is time for them to step aside’. Read
