New Visitor Centre on the banks of River Ericht

BARRC has been involved recently in intensive discussion with the Scottish Government who have granted TCRF money to build a new Visitor Centre on the Banks of the Ericht.

Problems arose in the summer with the demise of the construction company. Other problems arose to hold things back e.g. it was clear that the original designed building was going to be way over budget.

We have rethought the whole building and have appointed a new Architect. A dedicated building team has been working very hard to create an attractive, viable building.

We are confident that we can still achieve the original goals and bring the project in on time and on budget.

We are still waiting to have a final decision by the Minister Alex Neil. He is asking for an Independent Assessment whic will take another 6 weeks to report.

In discussion with P&K Council we have been advised to seek local opinion and views. We need your support.

We are doing this by displaying a model of the building and the consultative drawings in the One Voice Office.

You can visit there and give us your views and support or e-mail onevoice@blairgowrieandrattray.co.uk

The Office closes for Christmas on 23rd December and will open again on 11th January. The display is in the window at 11 Upper Mill Street, Blairgowrie


BARRC is deeply grateful for all the help and guidance from all those with whom we have engaged to make this project happen
