Work has re-started on a major street improvement project in Perth.

The first phase of the Mill Street upgrade scheme was concluded in November last year.

The development involves providing a safer, high quality environment for pedestrians in Mill Street. Works include linking the redeveloped Perth Theatre with the existing Concert Hall, as well as carrying out improvements to Skinnergate, Guard Vennel and Cutlog Vennel, which link Mill Street with the improved High Street.

Other features include re-establishing Burts Close and building a new car park on the site of 19 Mill Street.

Cllr John Kellas said: "The work which has already been completed around Horsecross shows the high standard that this project is delivering for Perth City. I am really pleased that we have been able to deliver on our commitment to phase these works, to ensure access around the Christmas Lights Switch-On event and the subsequent busy Christmas and New Years shopping days.

"It is now time to crack on with the remainder of this project, which, together with the transformation of Perth Theatre, will make Mill Street one of Perth's feature streets as the home of some of our major cultural attractions."
