Following up on this morning’s overview ahead of the full Council meeting, Councillor Drysdale gives an update on the key decisions made: to invest to retain library services in communities, to progress to formal public consultation on a draft visitor levy scheme for the area, and to ask Scottish Government to introduce a Short Term Lets Control area for Highland Perthshire and the northern part of Eastern Perthshire for any new short term let property applications in future.
The full recording to see the discussion and debate will be available on our YouTube channel in the next day or so and we’ll update this post with that link when it becomes available.

We love seeing visitors rediscover Perth 👇
It's great to hear how a simple day out can turn into something more.
Crido's seafood boil videos have been bringing in people and helping them discover what else Perth has to offer. If you have not seen their seafood boil yet, take a look at their page.
People experience places in different ways. For some it is the history, for others the atmosphere, shops or food. Views will always vary, and every place has its own perspective, but it is always encouraging to hear what stands out to those visiting Perth.
If you have not visited in a while, why not come and see what you think?
