Community representatives have defended their campaign to create a new walking and cycling route linking Perth to Scone after a funding agreement drew a slew of negative comments from online critics.
Last week the PA reported Perth and Kinross Council had agreed to pay up to £25,000 for a feasibility study to be conducted to assess the practicality of forming the active travel route including a new bridge over the River Tay at the North Inch.
Strathmore councillor Colin Stewart asked for the cash to come from the local authority’s revenue budget on behalf of members of Scone and District Community Council (SDCC) which has been working on the proposal for some time.
