  • For Discussion at Reports Meeting On
    7 PERTH AND KINROSS COUNCIL 10/593 Enterprise and Infrastructure Committee – 24 November 2010 SUSTRANS RIVER TAY CONNECT2 PROJECT, PERTH - DESIGN OPTIONS Report By Depute Director (Environment) This report details the progress made on the Connect2 Project and seeks approval to proceed with the detailed design of Option A (Three Arch Bridge) following the outcome of the Design Options Survey. RECOMMENDATIONS The Committee is asked to:- (i) Note the contents of this report. (ii) Agree to proceed with the detailed design of Option A (Three Arch Bridge) following the results of the Design Options Survey. BACKGROUND 1. In the draft Area Local Plan of December 2004, the Council stated that it would “investigate the principle of construction of a pedestrian/cycle bridge across the River Tay between the North Inch and Quarrymill”. Although the overall plan was subsequently abandoned, the aspiration was re-stated in the draft Regional Transport Strategy in 2007 and carried through to the current TACTRAN Delivery Plan. 2. The purpose of the budge is to provide a cycle and walking link for leisure and commuting between the two banks of the River Tay, and is very much considered a community project. Studies carried out at similar sites by Sustrans demonstrate that the bridge is likely to generate considerable usage. 3. Prior to 2007 the subject had been discussed at a fairly informal level with officers, Local Members and cycling groups, but the Council had no firm commitment to it. 4. However, in 2007 a funding opportunity presented itself through SUSTRANS for a bid to be put to the Big Lottery “Peoples Millions” Competition to assist with the bridge funding.

THE FRINGES OF FIFE NEW AND ENLARGED EDITION BY JOHN GEDDIE Author ot "The FiiniJes of Edinburjh," etc. Illustrated by Artliur Wall and Louis Weirter, R.B.A. LONDON: 38 Soto Square. W. 1 W. & R. CHAMBERS. LIMITED EDINBURGH: 339 High Street TO GEORGE A WATERS ' o{ the ' Scotsman MY GOOD COLLEAGUE DURING A QUARIER OF A CENTURY FOREWORD *I'll to ¥\ie:—Macl'eth. Much has happened since, in light mood and in light marching order, these walks along the sea- margin of Fife were first taken, some three-and-thirty years ago. The coasts of 'the Kingdom' present a surface hardened and compacted by time and weather —a kind of chequer-board of the ancient and the modern—of the work of nature and of man ; and it yields slowly to the hand of change. But here also old pieces have fallen out of the pattern and have been replaced by new pieces. Fife is not in all respects the Fife it was when, more than three decades ago, and with the towers of St Andrews beckoning us forward, we turned our backs upon it with a promise, implied if not expressed, and until now unfulfilled, to return and complete what had been begun. In the interval, the ways and methods of loco- motion have been revolutionised, and with them men's ideas and practice concerning travel and its objects. Pedestrianism is far on the way to go out of fashion. In 1894 the 'push-bike' was a compara- tively new invention ; it was not even known by the it was still name ; had ceased to be a velocipede, but a bicycle.

  • Perth & Kinross Council Archive Collections City and Royal Burgh of Perth
    Perth & Kinross Council Archive Collections City and Royal Burgh of Perth Perth, or Sanct Johnstoun of Perth, in the parish and county of Perth, and by 1975 also occupying parts of the parishes of Kinnoull, Scone, and Tibbermore, was created a royal burgh David I between 1124 and 1127. In 1600 a charter of James VI (1566-1625), in which Perth is referred to as a city, confirmed all the previous charters granted in favour of the burgh and the whole rights and privileges of the burgh. The city was governed by a council which included representatives from the trades and the guildry. This system of government was abolished in 1832 and from then on the council was made up of elected councillors with much of the day to day administration of the burgh being carried out by the town clerk. In 1811 the first of several local police acts was passed appointing police commissioners who had various duties including the cleansing, lighting, policing and public health of the burgh. The adoption of the General Police and Improvement (Scotland) Act 1862, (25 & 26 Vict., c.101) in 1865 and the Burgh Police (Scotland) Act 1892 (55 & 56 Vict., c.55) went some way towards resolving the confusion that sometimes arose over the jurisdiction of the councillors and commissioners. Under the Town Councils (Scotland) Act 1900 (63 & 64 Vict., c. 49) the police commissioners were replaced by Perth Town Council in January 1901. From 1930 until 1975 Perth had the status of a large burgh, as defined by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1929 (19 & 20 Geo.

There are so many references in our archives to the rivalry between our two cities that it was a great pleasure to meet our Dundonian colleagues and friends to discuss our history without rancour. In addition to standard university records, the University Ar- chive specializes in ecclesiastical records and those of the jute and linen industry. It also contains the magnificent photo- graphic collection of Michael Peto (1908-1970). The University Archive, Records Management & Museum Services care for the University art collection and a fascinating small museum. After all too short a visit, we proceeded to the City Archives, which are housed in the City Chambers. There, over lunch, we were welcomed by some Friends of Dundee City Archives. De- spite the pouring rain, about half of our group very much wanted to participate in a guided tour of the Howff.

  • Invasive Plants Survey 2006
    RIVER TAY DISTRICT INVASIVE PLANTS SURVEY 2006 C. Brodie, K. Birkeland, P. Fishlock and D. Summers Japanese knotweed Himalayan balsam Introduction During the summer of 2006 a survey was undertaken in the Tay Salmon Fishery District to identify the distribution and abundance of three invasive plants, namely Japanese knotweed, giant hogweed and Himalayan balsam, with the purpose of guiding an eradication project of these species in the coming years. The work was conducted by staff of the Tay District Salmon Fisheries Board on behalf of the Tay Foundation. Most of the fieldwork was performed by Chris Brodie, a student from the University of Stirling during the summer vacation. The above mentioned plants are aggressive and spread rapidly, crowding out native plant species and have a general detrimental effect on biodiversity and river ecology. A survey of selected sites conducted by Scottish Natural Heritage in 2003 showed that Himalayan balsam especially had considerably expanded its distribution over the previous decade. Therefore, before these species become even more dominant than they currently are, management is urgently required. For a control programme to be successful however it must be conducted in a systematic and coordinated manner, starting from the top of the catchment and working downstream, otherwise these plants will merely re- colonise. Before any treatment will take place it is therefore crucial to identify all areas where these plants are found in the Tay catchment, and to determine their upstream boundaries. Methods The survey commenced in July, by which time Himalayan balsam was in flower and easily identifiable. The approach taken was to commence surveying the lower reaches of major tributaries where some of these plants were known to occur and then to proceed upstream following the plants until upstream limits were detected.
