Perth has been listed as one of 30 UK towns the Conservatives have pledged to give a financial boost to as part of the Levelling Up scheme
The Conservatives have included The Fair City in a list of 30 UK "towns" it has pledged to give £20 million of funding.
Last weekend the Conservatives announced a list of 30 UK towns - which included Alloa, Helensburgh, Bognor Regis, Flint and Enniskillen - it would award £20 million to help regenerate. Amongst the list of towns was the city of Perth. However it is not the only city on the list. The latest list also included Preston while Derry/Londonderry was included in an earlier tranche.
Scottish Conservative candidate for Perth and Kinross-shire Luke Graham said: "Following the millions secured in the Tay Cities deal and the £5m of Levelling Up funding in the recent budget, this £20m will be a major boost for Perth and free up funding for other towns around Perth and Kinross-shire such as Crieff and Kinross."
Cllr Laing said: "I would welcome any money coming to the city of Perth. With our £5 million of Levelling Up funding, we got less than a quarter of what other cities and local authorities got."With the polls showing the Conservatives will not be in power after the election, I hope we can get the £20 million in the bank before July 4."
