Why can’t council find cash for Crieff’s toilets?
I’ve been here before with this subject, so indulge me please while I return to it.
If Perth and Kinross Council can spend almost £400,000 on Christmas events and a Christmas lights switchon in 2019, why can’t they find the money to keep the public toilets in Crieff open throughout the winter?
I understand there will be no big lights switch-on this year, therefore no celebrity fees for the likes of Atomic Kitten etc will be required – so there is even more reason to have money available.
Crieff Community Council must seriously challenge PKC on this as well as reminding them that rate-payers will remember all this come May 5 next year.

Social distancing measures will be in place in the limited space available, but it is hoped
Rural policing is an important issue in the countryside and we are interested in gaining your views on rural policing and crime.
Tell us about any crimes that have been committed against you, including ones that were not reported to the police.
How did being a victim of crime make you feel? Did the police respond appropriately?
When we last asked people about this topic, 47 per cent of the 8000-plus who responded to our 2020 Rural Crime Survey thought that the police in their area didn’t take rural crime seriously and 38 per cent said that they have had a crime committed against them in the last 12 months – with one in four of those not being reported to the police.
We are again seeking the views of those who live, work or regularly visit rural areas in England, Scotland and Wales, with a view to highlighting the true level of rural crime.
We will use the results to let your police know the issues that matter to you and will present our findings to government so that they understand rural crime better.
This survey should only take 10 minutes, and your responses are anonymous.
The survey will close on Monday, November 8.
To take part, email policy@ countryside-alliance.org prior to the above deadline. Spokesperson, Countryside Alliance
Dear Editor
that there will be room for everyone who wants to attend.

It’s World Porridge Day on October 10 – and while, for some, this might conjure up
images of Goldilocks and The Three Bears, or those famous adverts, there’s also a more important meaning to this day, one that can, quite literally, change lives.
Mary’s Meals feeds more than two million children in 19 countries around the world every school day.
Providing a daily meal in a place of education is helping even the most vulnerable children to attend school and concentrate in lessons, giving them the freedom to learn and fulfil their potential.
And the average global cost to feed a child with Mary’s Meals for a whole school year is just £15.90.
