Gasification incinerators at Binn Farm and Shore Road

Dear Editor, – On May 22 I wrote to Roseanna Cunningham asking for her views on plans for gasification incinerators at Binn Farm and Shore Road, bearing in mind that San Francisco and Lancashire County Council have rejected all forms of waste incineration in favour of intensive measures to reduce, reuse and recycle.Read

Public loos in Pitlochry

Dear Editor, – Returning from a holiday in Orkney and having been impressed by the number of spotless toilet facilities available there, even in out of the way places, it was disappointing to stop for a comfort break in Pitlochry to discover that the public conveniences closed at 6pm.Read

Perth City Hall

Dear Editor, – Perth City Hall was opened as an auditorium around 100 years ago. It became obsolete in 2005 when Perth Concert Hall opened. That is six years ago. It must have been obvious then to the Council administration that the City Hall would have to go.Read

Grundon is “concealing the warts”

Dear Editor, – I refer to your article in last Friday’s PA re “Incinerator Burning Issues”.Read

Reporter’s vocabulary criticised

Dear Editor, – I do not expect to read a PA report of an absconding murderer to be couched in pulp fiction type language, reaching out to the users of slovenly street slang.Read

Make councillors volunteers again

Dear Editor – The petition against the planned incinerator will no doubt prove a total waste of time as Perth and Kinross Council have consistently ignored any form of protest.Read

Incinerator debacle makes nationals

Dear Editor, – Imagine my surprise when I opened my Sunday Express paper to find this “Letter of the Week” centre page.Read

Scottish Water has sole responsibility for the sewer system

Dear Editor, – Flash flooding has occurred in many places throughout Scotland. It is a problem that now affects all Scottish cities.Read

City Hall could have housed the Tayside Police Museum

Dear Editor, – I am for keeping the City Hall as part of the history of Perth.Read

Free from the fear of nuclear annihilation

Dear Editor, – I found the recent debate in the PA between A Menzies and S Latham on the hugely-significant topic of Trident nuclear submarines most stimulating with, perhaps, S Latham scoring a “points win” over A Menzies largely due to her more incisive and humane views.Read

Fun is a racing certainty at Perth

Dear Editor, – Further to the article printed in the Perthshire Advertiser on Friday, June 10, regarding a particular parties difficult experience at Gold Cup day, I write to inform you that Perth Racecourse has implemented a programme of changes to ensure that next year’s Gold Cup and our remaining 2011 fixtures meet the expectations of all of our visitors.Read

Incinerator approval could spark mass exodus

Dear Editor, – If permission is ultimately granted for PKC’s latest incinerator fiasco, we and dozens of our friends will make a speedy mass exodus from Perth to somewhere safe to live.Read

Council branded ‘arrogant and undemocratic’

Dear Editor, – I was interested to read the article by Pete Wishart MP on the subject of the City Hall “Wishart tells PCCC to “put up or shut up” (PA, Tuesday, July 19). Apart from his appalling rudeness, he really should try to get his facts right instead of swallowing uncritically all the wild assertions and denunciations of the Council’s administration. Jim Provan is absolutely correct in saying that the Council have acted undemocratically in relation to the City Hall.Read

Council should u-turn before it’s too late

Dear Editor, – I have been following the ongoing saga of our City Hall in your newspaper articles and readers’ letters and it is increasingly clear that the majority of Perth citizens are opposed to total demolition.Read

Dear Editor, – Robert & Travers Dental Care wishes to thank all their very generous patients who took part in our prize draw and came along to the open day to celebrate our first anniversary in our new premises. The total of £260 was raised for our chosen charities, so thank you all very much.Read

Fine building left to go to rack and ruin

Dear Editor, – Instead of signing a petition to get rid of Grundig, maybe we should be signing one to get rid of this council before they completely ruin Perth.Read

Pothole cost me £100 repair bill

Dear Editor, – On February 19 I went over a pothole in Perth and broke the spring in my car. It cost me just over £100 to fix it. A couple of days after it happened the hole was filled.Read

Clearing drains should be a priority

Dear Editor, – I do not agree with the demolition of the City Hall and am sure that if it was in private ownership the council would be the first to object to such an act.Read
