I'm a bit more optimistic about our democracy than you seem to be. But that's partly because there are people like yourself out there helping the process along. I'll be following your group on Facebook - keep up the good work!

Through a Facebook group i have attempted to gather information about the forthcoming election, who the candidates are, what they stand for, how the process will work. I am doing this in attempt to help inform would be voters in their choice.

I will try to remain impartial! Hope its of use at least to a few people!

All the other proposals on the list in the A977 Traffic Mitigation Proposals report (see p10) were given the go-ahead apart from the footpaths at Crook of Devon and Powmill, which would have cost £77k and £22k respectively. Not proceeding with the footpaths saved sufficient money for these crossings as well as a bus shelter at Balado. I'll put the notes from the meeting on this website when they are available.

Fingers crossed that Perth & Kinross Council will fund this. Parking for parents dropping off and collecting their children from school is provided at the Institute car park, which means that children either have to cross the busy A977 at a particularly dangerous section of the road (on a bend that lorries come tearing round) or face a lengthy detour to the crossing outside the Inn. An extra crossing at this location would improve road safety and might serve to slow down some of the vehicles that currently thunder through Crook of Devon doing well over the speed limit.
