Errol Station Link

Construction of the path from Errol village to Errol Station is now complete and the path is being well used.  A small problem appears to be damage to the verges from rabbits or horses.  Path users are asked to help with maintenance by tramping in holes.  A formal opening ceremony will follow later  this summer.  The project is being funded by the Scottish Government & the European Community Rural Tayside LEADER 2007-2013 Programme, Perth & Kinross Countryside Trust, Perth & Kinross Quality of Life Trust and COGG.

Perth - Willowgate Right of Way

Work is underway to improve a very old right of way that includes a riverside path link from Perth City to the cafe and fishery at Willowgate, situated on the banks of the Tay beside Walnut Grove and the Friarton Bridge on the East Edge of Perth. Willowgate was formerly a working salmon station operated by, and still controlled by Tay Salmon Fisheries.

Management

CoGG is managed by a small committee of local volunteers, currently chaired by Phyllis Mackay.

The Paths Project Officer is Lis Yorke. Lis is employed by the Perth and Kinross Association of Voluntary Service (PKAVS) and is responsible to its Chief Executive. On a day-to-day basis the project officer has a wide range of responsibilities. She is the first point of contact for all interested parties, including access users, providers and funding partners.   She shares responsibility with the Paths Project co-ordinator for the job of preparing and submitting the various project reports.  Oh and, by the way, she also gets out and about !

The CoGG website is managed by Hugh Barker (Invergowrie). The website is a vitally important vehicle of communication between all involved in the development of the Paths Project.


Nine satellite groups have been established throughout the Carse and co-ordinators identified.  The satellite group co-ordinators plan to meet regularly and compare notes and work out joint strategies.
