Noisy clear-up annoys cafe customer

Dear Editor, – As a regular visitor to cafes in and around Perth, I would like to point out that it is most off-putting that tables are cleared, floors swept and chairs placed on top of tables at least 30 minutes before the place is due to close.Read

Vitalise is the difference between coping and despair

Dear Editor, – For most of us, taking a break whenever we want to recharge our batteries is considered quite normal, but during Share the Care Week 2011 I’d like your readers to spare a thought for those who can never take such a simple pleasure for granted.Read

Cleaning up after Chinese lantern craze

DEAR Editor, – The “Chinese lantern” – pictured – trend to lighten up milestones now means litter louts have taken an upmarket Oriental feel in our country. It has become a craze to release these lanterns at the drop of a ceremonial hat, yet do the people launching these burning beacons into the night sky give a thought as to what happens to them when they have burnt out?Read

Praise for Council Repairs Service

Balance of the Hill must be maintained

Dear Editor, – I noted with interest the position taken by Perth Civic Trust in opposing the proposed housing development in the grounds of St Mary’s Monastery on Kinnoull Hill. The Trust is partly concerned that “a precedent may be created which may make it difficult for the council to refuse future planning applications from a number of other landowners who wish to develop their own plots on Kinnoull Hill for residential purposes”.Read

Impatient driver was no gentleman

Dear Editor, – May I, through your paper, apologise to the ‘gentleman’ driver of the silver vehicle sitting behind me on the morning of February 24, at the Auchterarder junction on the A9 whilst I was waiting for clearance to cross.Read

St Mary’s Monastery land sell-off

Dear Editor, – We have been grateful for the opportunity to publicise in these pages a threatened development next to St Mary’s Monastery on Kinnoull Hill that many people might otherwise have been unaware of.
