Visitors and residents in Pitlochry and Perth will benefit from improved parking facilities following a significant investment in local infrastructure. Around £280k has been invested in resurfacing works, upgraded street lighting, and improved drainage systems across several key car parks in the region.
The enhancements include resurfacing of car parks in Ferry Road Car Parks and Rie-achan car parks in Pitlochry and Norie Miller and Back Wynd car parks in Perth, ensuring a smoother and safer experience for drivers.
In addition, improved street lighting has been installed to improve visibility and safety, particularly during the darker months. Back Wynd Car Park, has also undergone drainage improvements to better manage surface water and reduce the risk of flooding.
Pitlochry, a popular tourist destination, is expected to particularly benefit from these upgrades, which support the town's infrastructure and enhances the visitor experience.
Councillor Eric Drysdale, Convenor of the Council's Economy and Infrastructure, said: "This investment demonstrates our commitment to maintaining high-quality infrastructure that supports both our local communities and the tourism economy.
"By improving the condition and safety of our car parks, we're making it easier and more welcoming for people to visit and enjoy what Pitlochry and Perth have to offer."
"These works are part of a broader strategy to ensure public facilities across the region are well-maintained and fit for purpose, improving everyday facilities for residents and supporting the local economy."
