Advance works for the Comrie Flood Protection Scheme are set to “begin shortly”, according to Perth and Kinross Council.
Balfour Beatty will be carrying out the advance works until Autumn 2022, which will include tree clearance works in the Field of Refuge and erosion protection works on the Water of Ruchill.
The project will also involve other trial excavations to investigate public utility services and local archaeology, sheet piling trials at a number of locations as well as improvements to Legion Park.
