David Taylor from Transport Association Scotland
Perth and Kinross Council wish to engage with your organisation to seek feedback on the public transport issues facing your organisation in terms of your customers/clients and/or staff. We know that access to reliable and effective public transport is crucial to many stakeholders across Perth and Kinross.
Perth and Kinross Council is in year two of a three-year Public Transport Transformation Project which will ultimately develop an outline business case for a proposed public transport model to meet the needs of local communities now and in the future. The transport consultancy TAS Partnership Ltd are supporting the Council in this work.
We are keen to engage in a direct discussion with yourself and your organisation, as one of the key stakeholders, to inform the project.
Areas we wish to discuss are:
the current and future public transport needs of those you represent,
your views on integration of the services you may already provide,
where the identified public transport gaps are and how you believe these can be met,
subsequently the most appropriate transport model to meet the needs of local communities now and in the future, and finally

Hear Our Roar : Over the past year, Perth and Kinross HSCP has been working closely with the Centre for Inclusive Living Perth and Kinross (CILPK) to create Hear Our Roar, a group for adults with learning disabilities living in Perth and Kinross.
The goal of this group is to ensure their voices are heard. People with learning disabilities have a strong voice, but they often face barriers and are not always taken seriously. Hear our Roar aims to change that. It provides a safe space for members to speak up, connect with leaders and influence decisions that affect their lives.
From the start, it was agreed this group should be led by people with learning disabilities. After three successful meetings at the Y Centre in Perth, the first meeting of 2025 was a big moment—members voted for their new leaders!
Hear our Roar is a safe space for people to share ideas, concerns, and opinions, ensuring that issues affecting people with learning disabilities get the attention they deserve. With our new leaders now in place, we’re excited to see what the future holds!
