North Inch Muirton Community Council

Local biodiversity is being improved ‘on the ground’ through the #GrowWildforPerthandKinross initiative, and through Wonder Mix – locally-grown plants, shrubs and seeds available for community planting in green spaces. Find out more at tinyurl.com/32wpnjz2

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

@_KateForbes @theSNP @JohnSwinney A genuine question, asked out of curiosity. Where’s the evidence that the people of Scotland want independence? I do - but I’m an evidence-led kind of person. @theSNP

@krishgm Not sure about Scotland and the terrible SNP result though?

It seems to me that the portrayal of the Labour win as shallow because of the vote share is misleading. This was a ‘get the tories out’ election. For different people that generally meant voting Labour, Lib Dem, Green or Reform. But in doing so they all knew they’d get a Labour government and did it deliberately. In reality even Reform voters actually voted for Keir Starmer to be PM.

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.

@PerthandKinross Great to see these areas of biodiversity which keep the ground cooler, and support a habitat for pollinators and wildlife such as our diminishing hedgehog population 🦔

We're continuing to work through the grass cutting schedule in the interests of communities just now. These issues are, however, unrelated to the extension of our #GrowWild grassland management trials encouraging biodiversity - see pkc.gov.uk/wildlife for more info. 2/2

Unfortunately, warm, wet weather in recent weeks, together with staffing pressures, are impacting on our grounds maintenance service delivery at this time. As a result, you may currently see long grass and excess growth in local green spaces. 1/2

@MXOFO Scotland has now nationalised our rail. It’s not perfect by any means but our govt has put a hold on peak fares. An example 👇🏽

@andywightman Landownership in Scotland. Big business for greenwashing corporations who advertise zero carbon credentials on the back of planting trees with zero knowledge on how to manage natural resources and species. parkswatchscotland.co.uk/2023/10/09/bre…

@Misflexx @kayden_wright22 @emmabest2000 @PerthandKinross @GoodLawProject @JohnSwinney @PeteWishart @PlanningShit Not really. There’s a cost involved so that’s a major barrier for a start.

@InchNorth @kayden_wright22 @emmabest2000 @PerthandKinross @GoodLawProject @JohnSwinney @PeteWishart @PlanningShit The golf course benefits the community it give people somewhere to go and enjoy which is especially good for the younger generation who need to stay off the streets and out there enthusiasm else where.

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

@kayden_wright22 @Misflexx @emmabest2000 @PerthandKinross @GoodLawProject @JohnSwinney @PeteWishart @PlanningShit It brings value to 500 golfers, the vast majority of whom are men, of which you are one, hence your perception and view of it being a ‘silly non issue’. Is it representative for the value of the community as a whole? You’d need to ask them.

@Misflexx @kayden_wright22 @emmabest2000 @PerthandKinross @GoodLawProject @JohnSwinney @PeteWishart @PlanningShit We understand from an FOI that the costs of the hut and roads is hundreds of thousands of pounds - some of which are Common Good funds which should be for the community good, not just the golf club.

@InchNorth @kayden_wright22 @emmabest2000 @PerthandKinross @GoodLawProject @JohnSwinney @PeteWishart @PlanningShit So don’t you think if they are paying for it it’s okay? It’s not a big project it’s a small path it’s not going to majorly affect your community that much. If it was a big project then fair enough but it’s a small meter wide path going to a tee box.

@Misflexx @kayden_wright22 @emmabest2000 @PerthandKinross @GoodLawProject @JohnSwinney @PeteWishart @PlanningShit It affects our community as the North Inch, on which the course is situated, is a community asset for the use of all. We are aware of membership revenue, as well as costs spent on the starter hut and access roads.

@InchNorth @kayden_wright22 @emmabest2000 @PerthandKinross @GoodLawProject @JohnSwinney @PeteWishart @PlanningShit Gold growing and the fact it looks shite when muddy isn’t an opinion it’s a fact. You choosing to not believe my clear source with oldest course in the world in the title is you opinion and choice. It’s a path grow up it doesn’t affect you

@Misflexx @kayden_wright22 @emmabest2000 @PerthandKinross @GoodLawProject @JohnSwinney @PeteWishart @PlanningShit It’s your opinion. Thanks for that.

@InchNorth @kayden_wright22 @emmabest2000 @PerthandKinross @GoodLawProject @JohnSwinney @PeteWishart @PlanningShit The game of golf is growing exponentially especially on the weekends the course is next to full. It’s a path not a massive new building. It’s spent so that the place looks a bit nicer. When it’s wet that bit gets very muddy and it doesnt look great it’s a fix to make it look good

Did you know, the North Inch and South Inch in Perth is Common Good land? Common Good assets needs to be managed within statutory duties. landcommission.gov.scot/our-work/good-…

@Misflexx @PerthandKinross @northinchgolf @GoodLawProject @PeteWishart @JohnSwinney @andywightman The Scotsman article is incorrect.

@InchNorth @PerthandKinross @northinchgolf @GoodLawProject @PeteWishart @JohnSwinney @andywightman Hello. I will list a few sites where if you give it a read tells you all about the history. scottishgolfhistory.org/oldest-golf-co… golf-insights.co.uk/a-little-bit-o…

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

@Misflexx @PerthandKinross @northinchgolf @GoodLawProject @PeteWishart @JohnSwinney @andywightman It doesn’t say anything about being the oldest golf course in the work, or anywhere else.

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.
