In the November 2019 Newsletter, available in the shops on Saturday 2 November...

Here we are in November, in the cold, dark lead-up to the festive season with nearly two months to go until Christmas. What we need is a bit of cheer to keep us going - the Kinross Winter Festival, a perfect cure for the winter blues! As ever there´ll be a celebrity on hand to switch on the Christmas lights, and the festival will run from the end of November into December with lots of entertainment and fun to be had for all the family. You´ll find full details of what´s happening, where and when, in your Newsletter!

On a more topical note we have lots of local news for you this month, including information on the proposed warm-up area at the side of Kinross hockey pitch, and details of funding which has been awarded for the development of Kinross skate park. There´s also more news on the ongoing issue of Lathro Farm planning breaches.

We also have several exciting features to help fill those long winter evenings! There´s a two-page spread devoted to Kinross House, an architectural treasure right on our own doorstep. In addition, following on from September´s article on rain gardens we have a further item on the effects of water-runoff from roads and driveways, and how this might be harnessed to enhance natural wildlife habitats.

As ever, you´ll also find our usual mix of councillors´ reports, local and community news, views, sport and features. The Newsletter is your essential guide to what´s happening in and around Kinross-shire, so don´t miss out on the fun - make sure you get your copy!

Enjoy your Newsletter - all the best from the Team, until next month.
