Overview

Perth & Kinross Council has been carrying out a natural flood managment (NFM) study for the Alyth area and is seeking the views of the community on the draft outputs.

Community drop-in sessions are being held on 28 and 30 May 2024 at the Alyth Town Hall (3-7pm).  These event will allow the community to view and comment on the extensive work carried out as part of the Alyth NFM Study, including the best available understanding of flood risk in the catchment and the draft findings from the study.

Why your views matter

Residents are encouraged to provide their views on the draft findings and recommendations.  Comments can be provided by completing the online survey on this page by Friday 14 June 2024.

What will happen next?

A response to any questions raised will be provided to the community in a ‘Question & Answer’ report.  The NFM Study will then be finalised, and we will report the outcome to the next available meeting of the Council’s Climate Change and Sustainability Committee. 

What happens next

A Question & Answer document will be produced following this event and will be circulated to the community in order to answer any queries/comments received prior to, and during the online event.
