Community Benefits Report February 2022 - August 2023
The Cross Tay Link Road project is undoubtedly the most significant infrastructure investment Perth & Kinross Council has undertaken. Budgeted at £150m, the road will provide substantial economic and environmental benefits for generations to come.
It is crucial that alongside these long-term gains we consider the social value that a project such as this can deliver for the people of Perth
and Kinross. As such, the project is targeted to achieve several community benefits including volunteering, work experience
opportunities, adult employment, charitable donations of labour and equipment, fundraising and local charity support.
These targets dovetail neatly with the area-wide ambition as laid out in the Perth and Kinross Offer. This report highlights the success stories so far and demonstrates the wider social value and legacy of this impressive project.
