Please accept my apologies for late response. Although I welcome the report, I am advised that the reports' conclusions do not reflect current working practices regarding dangerous dog occurrences within Perth and Kinross. WOOON This Council deals with 'dog on person attacks' by agreement with Police Scotland with our officers providing assistance. The role of our officers in such circumstances, apart from assisting Police Scotland is to issue Dog Control Notices appropriate to each circumstance. This sanction is also applied to other situations such as, dog attacks on other dogs as a means of preventing irresponsible dog ownership. Fortunately, within Perth and Kinross, this is not a common occurrence and as such, Council intervention is rare however, a procedure in in place to ensure that the Council applies current legislation swiftly and robustly to dog related incidents. The Council therefore, has not to date, had cause to apply for a Destruction Order in terms of the legislation, having had no circumstance where it has been deemed appropriate. This may be as a result of our intervention strategy, which focuses on provision of help and advice to dog owners after issue of a Dog Control Notice. Housing & Environment Executive Director (Housing & Environment) Barbara Renton In relation to your request regarding steps to strengthen our approach, I would assure you that Perth and Kinross Council already adopts a rigid approach, acting as robustly as the legislation allows and uses a suite of intervention measures to prevent dog attack occurrences. Yours sincerely Mark Butterworth Head of Environmental and Consumer Services .

For Discussion at Reports Meeting On
6 10/174 PERTH AND KINROSS COUNCIL Enterprise and Infrastructure Committee – 31 March 2010 KINNOULL CONSERVATION AREA APPRAISAL Report by the Executive Director (Environment) This report recommends Committee approve the Kinnoull Conservation Area Appraisal and the proposed boundary changes, and progress onto formal re- designation by notifying Scottish Ministers. RECOMMENDATIONS The Committee is asked to: i) Approve the final draft Kinnoull Conservation Area Appraisal, the proposed boundary and associated management measures, and progression onto formal re-designation by notifying Scottish Ministers. BACKGROUND 1 All the outstanding proposals for Conservation Area designation and amendment emerging from the Development Plan process have now been dealt with. Conservation Areas have now been designated in Pitlochry, Blairgowrie, Blair Atholl, Grandtully & Strathtay, Aberfeldy, Crieff and Scotlandwell; the Coupar Angus Conservation Area has been extended and re-designated, and a new Perth Central Conservation Area has been designated which includes the amalgamation of the previous Conservation Areas in Perth city centre. 2 The Council has a duty under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997 “to formulate and publish, from time to time, proposals for the preservation and enhancement of any parts of their district which are Conservation Areas.” This means in effect that all existing Conservation Areas should be reviewed and re-appraised. 3 Criteria for deciding which Conservation Areas should be reviewed in the first instance were approved at the Enterprise and Infrastructure Committee on 3 June 2009. The criteria for reviewing Conservation Areas is: (i) a Placecheck has been undertaken or is imminent (ii) the local community has requested a review (iii) there is potential for physical regeneration and linkages with broader schemes (iv) development pressure is creating a need for more detailed guidance and (v) considerable time has elapsed since the original appraisal was undertaken.

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.

KINNOULL HILL Site of Special Scientific Interest
Battleby, Redgorton, KINNOULL HILL Perth Site of Special Scientific Interest PH1 3EW SITE MANAGEMENT STATEMENT Tel: 01738 444177 Email: Site code: 861 Tayside_clackmannanshire @snh.gov.uk Purpose This is a public statement prepared by SNH for owners and occupiers of the SSSI. It outlines the reasons it is designated as an SSSI and provides guidance on how its special natural features should be conserved or enhanced. This Statement does not affect or form part of the statutory notification and does not remove the need to apply for consent for operations requiring consent. We welcome your views on this statement. Description of the site Kinnoull Hill lies on the eastern side of Perth, and to the south overlooks the River Tay and inner Tay Estuary. Kinnoull Hill qualifies as an SSSI as it includes an extensive area of upland oak and birch woodland with associated heathland; its cliffs are important for their botanical interest, and its exposure of geological dykes in Corsiehill Quarry help to explain the geological history of central Scotland. The woodland is mainly birch and oak with some mixed broadleaves and conifers. An open area of heath demonstrates natural woodland succession as it becomes colonised by naturally regenerating scrub (mainly broom, gorse and rose), which in turn is being replaced by trees (mainly birch, oak and rowan). Close to the summit, there are still remnant patches of open heathland, with heather, bell heather and blaeberry which prefer acid soils and sparse tree cover. As a consequence of planting and natural regeneration, there are both native and exotic trees of various ages.

A diary of the talks is available as an insert inside this issue and the next one is by James Irvine Robertson on 18 October at 2pm, titled ‘Slavery & the Stewarts of Garth’ The Friends' summer outing this year was to Tay Salmon Fishing at Seggieden on Saturday 1 Sep- tember. The afternoon was bright and sunny perfect weather for our picnic and most enjoyable boat trips and walk. In the Archive there are many references from the mid-16th century to the Seggieden Estate and its fishery. There is no longer any fishing there, but the present owner, a wildlife enthusi- ast, has plans to develop the left bank of the Tay so that walkers and cyclists may have easy access and the opportunity to sail along and across the river in specially designed boats or water-taxis. (These and other plans to develop recreational facilities in the Fair City can be seen on the Tay Salmon website at http://www.taysalmon.co.uk) This year the Scottish Records Association Conference will be held in Perth at Perth Concert Hall, on Friday 16 November between 10am-5pm.
