Delighted to see a strip of wild flowers on the North Inch. This bee is enjoying the cornflower. We’re hoping to do more of this with @PerthandKinross Grow Wild initiative. #Biodiversity #Community #wildflowers #pollinators

Anas Sarwar on why Labour isn't scrapping the two child benefit cap - "We're the Labour party and we believe the best way out of poverty is work." This is a major gaff from Sarwar. This could have come straight out of a Conservative manifesto.

Just to dispel some myths, the North Inch golf course was only in its present form in the 19th century, not seen on early maps. This book is excellent - and states that there’s no evidence that the King ever played on it.
Yet more vandalism on common good land - The North Inch. No planning, no consultation, no consent. All so the golfers feet can stay dry. @PerthandKinross @GoodLawProject @JohnSwinney @PeteWishart @PlanningShit

What’s going on here? Do @PerthandKinross and @northinchgolf have more plans for private roads across common good land? This is not Scotland’s oldest golf course, and no, the King didn’t play on it. @GoodLawProject @PeteWishart @JohnSwinney @andywightman #commongood #mythbusting

It’s soup weather. The Balhousie St GoT box has some soup kits with veg, stock cube, lentils and spices to make spiced carrot soup. Delicious, nutritious and quick to make. Also a piece of Mrs O’s sourdough focaccia in the bag. #soup #winterwarmer #homemadesoup #vitamind

The North Inch public park has flooded twice this month. @PerthandKinross have installed petrol-powered pumps with leaky hoses. Public money & common good land. A PKC spokesperson said this is to allow the golf course to operate & generate income. 🤷‍♂️ @andywightman #StormBabet

The North Inch is a public park, common land for the use of everyone. In its past it has been used by the people of Perth to grow crops and graze livestock. There was even a footbridge from it across the Tay. @Dollydi26969910 @JillBelch @andywightman #biodiversity #commongood
Very interested to read about the work of the European Golf Association on biodiversity of golf courses. “golf courses need to become actors in the protection of the wildlife they host.” No evidence of this at our North Inch park. @EGAgolf @InchNorth @PerthandKinross

Glyphosphates are routinely used on grassland in the North Inch. It is apparently “the most effective” way of controlling “weeds” on the park. This is partly because much of the common land has been taken over by a golf course.

Never mind. It will grow back when the rain falls. Oh, wait…..
Scorched earth on our North Inch park. Looks like weed killer and excessive mowing.

Great to see the legacy of the great GoT box continues. Hardship is still very much present for what ever reason, so please keep your local GoT box topped up if you can! @CraigiePrimary

The giant hogweed presence is rampant this year, particularly on the waters edge along the Almond. The plant releases sap which causes burns, blisters and photosensitivity which can last years. Keep dogs and children well away. ⛔️
