canuck_saint Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Yeh agree...Battery Park in New York is a great example of parkland on banks of a river that is buzzing with locals and tourists. I know Perth is no NYC but the idea can be transferred. Small temp cafes along the stretch be nice. Still think green space bang in centre would be nice too.perth is small enough that both would be doable with a bit of council forethoughtBoston was another US city where when they got rid of their elevated highways. had huge empty city centre spaces and chose to "green" them rather than make them into roads, encouraged locals to use them, and completely regenerated downtrodden areas like the north end.In this day and age whats the point of roads in a city centre (apart from deliveries/services), theres no where to park or even stop sometimes - they certainly dont entice consumers in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuck_saint Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 They are useful to parade Scottish Cups around.and once in every 130 years thats appreciated! the whole point of a market town like perth is it should be a focal point for local producers and consumers to come together.Theres very little we cant grow and harvest - F**k the big supermarkets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Council offices at 2 high Street covered in scaffolding. What are they spending our money on now that they don't fill pot holes until they are 3 foot deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abernethy Saint Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Totally agree with the pot holes. But, as has been said, they are renovating a couple of large offices so they can close a number of smaller ones, saving £m's over time. How they spend that is largely up to you. They call them elections.Given the abysmal turn-out for council elections, I wonder how many of the anti-council whiners on here actually get off their arses and vote? Or campaign? Or stand?

As far as I am aware Pullar Palace is leased.Move the council offices into the city hall, city centre has a greater foot fall of office workers might bring life to the city centre again.Job done!

Could not believe my eyes as I reached the junction of Perth bridge/ Tay Street/ George Street and Charlotte Street today.From the Bridge to Charlotte Street all the way down to North Port had the whole width of the road resurfaced, thus eliminating numerous potholes.Nice to report a positive about the Council.

Abernethy Saint Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 End of the financial year chief. No carry-overs in public sector budgets. Every department will have been spending money like water the last month or so. Been there, bought the tee shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every department will have been spending money like water the last month or so. Been there, bought the tee shirt. Having spent 36 yrs. in Government service and 13 yrs.in local government service, I was aware it was imperative that each section/department used all of their allocated budget to try to prevent their budget for the next financial year being cut.
