This December – Festive Party Safety: Try to plan your Christmas night out – charge your mobile and remember to take it with you. If you plan to use it to arrange transport, make sure that you have enough power left at the end of the night.
The weather in Scotland has seen a change over the past few weeks and this week I would like to give you some winter safety advice for keeping safe on our roads and pavements.
The clocks go back one hour on Sunday 29th October and in line with this the following are some key safety messages for staying safe
The Enchanted Forest – Faskally Wood, Pitlochry - The Enchanted Forest is now set up, and it opened to the public on Thursday 28th September in Faskally Woods, Pitlochry. As a result, there will be around 2500 visitors to the site each evening between 5.30pm and 11pm for the duration of the event. Coaches will continuously convey guests between Fishers Hotel and the site at Faskally - this is likely to greatly increase the volume of traffic within Atholl Street over the period of the event.
CYCLING - In recent weeks I have received complaints regarding cyclists using the footways or footpaths in Perth city centre and also on Burghmuir Road and Jeanfield Road. With the recent media publicity involving the cyclist in London being found guilty of causing the death of a pedestrian by ‘wanton and furious driving’ I feel it necessary to highlight the risks that some cyclists are posing to pedestrians in Perth.
Police Scotland stands with our colleagues and communities in London following the incident on Friday 15th September 2017. Our thoughts are with everyone who has been affected and we will continue to provide assistance to the Metropolitan Police Service as required.
About 2.35pm on Saturday 9th September a quantity of high value fishing equipment was stolen from a vehicle at Dalmarnock Fishings, Dunkeld. (CR/23694/17)
One Punch - Police Scotland are currently driving home the message from their anti-violence campaign that ‘One Punch Can Ruin Two Lives’.
SECURE YOUR BICYCLE - More than 500,000 bikes are stolen in the UK each year because they’re poorly secured or not secured at all. More than half of all bikes stolen are taken from the owner’s property.
An online questionnaire has been launched by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland (HMICS) to allow members of the public to pass on their views and experiences of local policing in Tayside Division (covering the Angus, Dundee and Perth and Kinross council areas).
