Simpson & Brown have announced proposals for the regeneration of Perth City Hall. A permanent Market Hall, planned and equipped for the purpose, and let to first-class stall-holders specialising in high-quality food and household goods, with additional restaurant and cultural uses is envisaged. A special corporate entity is in process of formation, whose principals are ready to agree terms and conditions with the Council for a long lease of the building, on the basis outlined. The promoters are confident that this scheme for conservation of the building will earn support from the authorities, that the project is commercially viable and will enjoy universal popularity. On receipt of the necessary permissions, work on site will be started without delay, for completion within 18 months.
We have recently completed the final phase of a five-phase project to repair, re-wire, redecorate and provide new lighting at St Michael’s Church in Helensburgh. The project started in 2004 and the early stages involved packages of stone repair and roof repair. St Michael’s is an important church by Robert Rowand Anderson.
Work has commenced at Leng Chapel in Fife on a new heating and ventilating system. In addition, copper stolen from the roof will be replaced and anti-theft measures will be incorporated.
Repairs are being undertaken on the spire at St Mary’s Chapel, Blairs, in Aberdeenshire.
