Closures and disruptions to services
Last updated | 29/07/2010
Perth & Kinross Council will endeavour to keep you informed
of closures and disruptions to the area whether it is the closure
of your child’s school, how to find out about any flood
warnings, planned road activities to minimise travel delays and bus
service changes.
School closures in severe weather
Adverse weather conditions and other unexpected circumstances
may sometimes lead to schools and other Education establishments
being closed for safety reasons.
Find out whether you are affected by
closures and how to access the most up to date
information.
Flooding
Find out if there are any
flood warnings currently in place, and get advice on protecting
your property or land, as well as guidance on the roles and
responsibilities of the different organisations involved in
responding to flooding in Scotland.
Disruptions to roads
Planned road closures
To minimise any travel delays, you can access
weekly road reports to inform you of all significant planned
road works where delays may exist and current road closures with
advised diversion routes so you are able to avoid these trouble
spots.
Gritting and snow clearing
During the winter months, the Council's gritting and snow
clearing services are on constant alert monitoring weather reports
to ensure they are ready to clear ice and snow on more than 2,500
