Two multi-million pound Perth and Kinross Council building projects are under threat due to budget constraints.
Council chiefs are recommending councillors press pause on the approved and long-awaited Blairgowrie Recreation Centre as costs soar by £9.3 million to £36 million.
Plans to replace Perth Leisure Pool and Dewars Centre with the much-vaunted PH20 centre are also on hold as construction inflation costs see it spike from £90m to £110m.
