Perth problems may get worse
Sir, – I note that Atholl Street in Perth is one of the most polluted in Scotland.
It does not take a traffic expert to work out that most of the traffic using Atholl Street comes over the Perth Bridge from Scone and beyond, via Bridgend.
Until another Tay crossing is actually built and not just “committed to” then a further 750, or even 100, houses in Scone seems utter folly to me and might indicate that the pursuit of profit is more important than the health of the people of Perth.
I think it would also be fair to say that the traffic pollution in Bridgend at rush hour times must be fairly high, even now.
