What's on this site?
Fossoway is located within Perth & Kinross and includes the settlements of Blairingone, Powmill, Crook of Devon, Drum, Rumbling Bridge and Carnbo.
The Fossoway Website is a great place to find out about local events and also provides information about Fossoway & District Community Council and Perth & Kinross Council (PKC) strategic planning activity, which decides where (and how many) new houses will be built. There is also information about Walk Around the Lovely Crook (WALC), which builds and promotes local footpaths, including the Fossoway School Millenium Walk around Crook of Devon, Drum and Rumbling Bridge.
We update the site regularly so don't forget to check back every so often for the latest news. All previous news items are archived in the Forum under the category "News".
How to Contact Perth & Kinross Council and Fossoway's Representatives in Government
If you live in Crook of Devon, Drum, Carnbo, Powmill, Blairingone or any of the surrounding areas in Fossoway and need to contact "the powers that be", follow the link to our Take Action page. There you will find contact details for Perth & Kinross Council Planning Department, your four elected local Councillors (Mike Barnacle, Willie Robertson, Kathleen Baird and Sandy Miller), as well as Gordon Banks MP and Keith Brown MSP.
Another option is to use the excellent web service WriteToThem.com, which allows you to make your point directly to all your Councillors, your Members of the Scottish Parliament, your Member of Parliament and your Members of the European Parliament in one fell swoop simply by filling out a single form online. A real time saver!
If the matter is urgent it would be wise to use the phone, but don't forget to follow up with a letter, as this means your views are more likely to be taken into account in the longer term.
