THE LARK SAINT Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 The frontage could be changed to blend in with the original build. Maybe look at that instead of increasing the Flowers in Bloom budget.Dont sit there in yer Greek Mansion and come on here about the budget for flower's coming out of Council Budget Sailor boy-Its Feck all to do with itAs a keen gardener im fed up with the crap that it is funded by Cooncil money and other things are neglected -Not TrueThe money comes from a Charity called Beautiful Perth,a registered Charity with local projects that range from creating stunning flowerbed and hanging basket displays, supporting Eco Schools and helping biodiversity initiatives, to anti-litter and local clean-up campaigns. Since 1990, our work has helped Perth win a host of national and international awards for floral displays and environmental improvementA recognised Scottish charity, beautiful Perth has grown considerably since its early days. It continues to be a very active partnership involving local businesses, volunteers and community groups, schools and Perth and Kinross Council. The campaign is overseen by a committee of volunteers who give their time freely to help the partnership.NOTE THE WORD VOLUNTEERS SAILOR BOY!!!NO MONEY FOR THIS COMES FROM THE COUNCIL BUDGET!!! sixties saintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Nobody knows or Nobody cares ? Â I think Perth station already has money earmarked for it anyway, Gleneagles is only getting done up for the Ryder Cup and the old Crieff platform is going to re-open to allow extra trains to stop there, sadly the Crieff line will not re-open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Mikey Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 I reckon Perth will get jack with the funding for Gleneagles and the Ryder Cup. Â Cmon, the new lift and walkway system was flawed when it was first built and it's still not safe for passenger use. Â Who knows....

AthensSaint Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 The people running Perth Council/Tourist Board are most likely inept at hosting a local cow and bull sale. Hope there are experts being brought in to maximum potential profits from The Ryder Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chips Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Â I believe there is a waiting area within the station called the Queen Victoria room (where old Vic would sit and wait for her royal express) Im informed that its in a sad state of repair and riddled with dry rot. I had never heard of this area before and wonder why it was put out of use,any ideas ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Mikey Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Perth Station is a mess because Network Rail would need to spend millions on a facelift and I doubt they would as they would get zero return on their cash apart from the leasing of the station by Scotrail to use as an operational depot.

myDarlingBeefeater Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Business Class lounge, opened in time for the start of The Ryder Cup. Makes sense. Â I'm sure Network Rail will be falling over themselves to jizz money on a bloody waiting room for pampered golf twats. Â Perth station isn't getting any Ryder cup dosh. The current works are to comply with accessibility regulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhq Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 There was talk a couple of years ago of this area becoming a new bus station. Â Could this be the start of this plan being put in place? Â I don't know if this is the case, incidentally - just speculating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
