Plans for new Tay crossing at Perth could be boosted by funding bid
ByRichard Burdge
The funding could see another major crossing for traffic at Perth.
Plans for a new Tay crossing at Perth could take a leap forward if a bid to unlock £400 million of funding for infrastructure projects is successful.
Perth and Kinross Council is locked in discussions with its counterparts in Dundee, Angus and north Fife as they finalise their joint proposal to secure the funding through a City Deal.
The aim of the bid for UK and Scottish Government cash is to improve the regional transport network, including public transport, and create jobs.
“Perth can only benefit from a city deal by collaborating with other authorities,” according to council executive director (environment) Jim Valentine.
