Recycling area
Recycling area in the corner of a supermarket car park. The Edinburgh Road railway bridge can just be seen between the trees to the left. Only paper and garden waste can be collected from the kerbside in Perth for recycling, so areas like this one meet a real need to recycle other materials.

A wind turbine for your store
When I first saw this rotating structure I assumed it was intended to house some advertising or publicity. In fact it is a wind turbine designed to reduce the carbon footprint of the supermarket in whose car park it is located.
In connection with similar scheme at another store a company spokesman said, "We have been looking at a few sites across the UK as locations for these turbines ... ... ...it may only provide a small proportion of the total energy used in the supermarket, but this is part of a UK-wide initiative that we are committed to. We need to try to provide renewable energy at as many of our stores as possible."

The application for planning consent stated that the turbine would be capable of generating six kilowatts of electricity and have an estimated lifespan of 15 years.

Flooding recedes on the South Inch
Perth received 40mm of rainfall yesterday morning, causing flooding in many parts of the town centre. This area of the South Inch is designed to store water from the Craigie Burn Image Image when the river level is too high for it to flow out into the Tay. Now that the river level has dropped again the South Inch is starting to dry out.
