Final Day Of T In The Park Consultation
Residents in Strathallan - voicing their support for T in the Park's proposed move there - say they are facing an anxious wait:
Steven Gow lives next to the Strathallan estate. Today is the last day of the second public consultation with the council set to make a final decision on the festival's future next month. A spokeswoman for T in the Park said: “The public consultation on the additional information in support of our planning application and environmental statement to hold T in the Park at Strathallan Castle will close tonight at midnight.” “We’ve provided a huge amount of extra evidence to demonstrate that our thorough species protection plans will safe-guard any wildlife on-site - now and in the future - as well as the wider environment. “We’ve provided a clearer understanding of how the traffic flows and routes are likely to operate during the festival and that we can successfully manage the local road network with minimum disruption to local life. “For us, it’s more significant that we’ve seen massive growing support for the festival in the local community and the positive voice of the majority has become louder and louder. “The application is now in the hands of the planners at Perth & Kinross Council and the final decision will be made in May.”
