Restoring Perth's City Status

Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon signing Perth's City Status Charter at the 'Supporting Scotland's Cities' conference on 28th September 2011. 


Gilmour Strang of property consultants Bidwells, signs the city status charter at a special business support event held on 29th September 2011.
To mark Her Majesty the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in 2012, a special competition is being held where city status will be granted to one town in the UK. Momentum has been building for Perth's bid to have its city status restored and we already have strong support for our campaign.

Perth is a city in everything but name - a thriving and dynamic place to live and work in, with a fascinating history, welcoming community and a vibrant environment. Our bid, which was submitted at the end of May 2011, sets out how Perth is ready to reclaim its rightful place as a city.

Our bid has already had wide support from many residents, businesses, the local media, celebrities and politicians, however there will be strong competition from places elsewhere in the UK, and so your support is vital in the campaign to restore city status to Perth!
