Significant Investment enhances popular car parks in Pitlochry and Perth
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.

Keeping our communities safer for all
PKC’s new Community Support and Enforcement team (CSE) is dedicated to keeping our communities safer for all.
This new team will create a dynamic and unified service designed to enhance community safety, improve local environments, and deliver more responsive support to residents across the region.
The new team brings together the Council's Parking and Civil Contingencies Service, Community Safety Team and Visitor Management into a single, streamlined unit under one leadership structure. The move is part of a broader strategy to deliver on the Council's vision of a Perth and Kinross, where everyone can live life well, free from poverty and inequality.
By focusing resources where they're needed most, the team will serve as the "eyes and ears" of the community, providing visible, intelligence-led patrols and rapid responses to local concerns. They will help protect our shared spaces, streets, landscapes, and local wildlife—ensuring Perth and Kinross remains welcoming and secure for everyone, whether residents or visitors.
