Business owners based in Perth ’s Tay Street have spoken of the sleepless nights they have experienced worrying how plans to dig the street up for sewer works might impact on trade.
Graeme Pallister of restaurant 63 Tay Street and Cameron Grassick of Robert Cameron Hair, told the PA this week they received the “bombshell” news that Scottish Water was preparing to seal off parts of the street and dig it up for the best part of a year just over seven weeks ago.
The pair say they cannot understand why no-one from Scottish Water or Perth and Kinross Council thought to give them any further advance warning of the project given the likely impact partial closures of the street and the actual sewer works is bound to have on their businesses.
