The most recent significant flood events occurred in January 1993, December 2006 and February and August 2020.

In order to address this, we engaged consulting engineers, RPS, to develop proposals for a flood protection scheme in the area. We are now ready to consult...
Unpaid work orders are put in place when someone who has committed a crime is sentenced to carry out work in the community. As part of its response to Scotland’s Community Justice strategy, Perth & Kinross Council’s Justice Services are seeking the views of the public to understand their awareness of what people on unpaid work do, whether they think it works, and what other community jobs could be undertaken.
This consultation will help the Perth and Kinross Health and Social Care Partnership understand current and future health and social care needs of the local population, in order to shape how health and social care services will be provided over the next 3 years.

To help us prepare a new Management Plan for Black Spout Wood, we asked local residents and visitors how often they used the woods, what they liked to do while they were there, what they liked and disliked about the woods at present and how we might make improvements.
We received 98 responses to the consultation. Most respondents were local residents and visited the woods on foot. Many were dog walkers. We received lots of positive feedback about the site and the way it is now. There was also useful feedback about providing information to help get around the site, the paths, and the management of the site more generally.
All the feedback received will help us to put together a new Management Plan to take us forward to 2028. In due course, those of you who asked to be kept informed will be consulted again once we've put together a draft Management Plan.
At the time of this initial consultation the Pitlochry & Moulin Community Council was in abeyance. It's hoped that we can engage with the new Community Council so as to review the draft Management Plan once it's ready.
To help us prepare a new Management Plan for Rumbling Bridge, we asked local residents and visitors how often they used the woods, what they liked to do while they were there, what they liked and disliked about the woods at present and how we might make improvements.
We received 128 responses to the consultation. Most respondents were local residents and visited the woods on foot. We received lots of positive feedback about the gorge but there are clearly aspects which could be better. There was useful feedback covering a number of issues including several responses relating to access to and accessibility within the site.
All the feedback received will help us to put together a new Management Plan to take us forward to 2028. In due course, those of you who asked to be kept informed will be consulted again once we've put together a draft Management Plan.

A Question and Answer (Q&A) Report was produced and uploaded to the hub in May 2023. The flood study has been finalised and the findings will now be reported to the next Climate Change & Sustainability Committee on 31 May 2023.
For input from the local community and other residents of Perth with regard to the proposed grant of the servitude rights over the Servitude Areas at Low Road.
We received a large response concerned about flooding issues in this location. Responses were individually acknowledged.
The Council have decided that in light of the anticipated Planning Application being made by Craigie Hill Golf Club for the redevelopment of the golf course, it would be premature for a decision to be made on the proposal to grant servitude rights at Low Road at this time. The Common Good Committee will therefore not be asked to make a decision on the granting of servitude rights at Low Road at this time.
The servitude application will only be considered once the outcome of the planning process is known, if appropriate.
