Paddy Power, the bookmaker, known for its heavy banter and strong PR campaigns are to launch a new branch on South Methven Street.

The Irish bookmakerĀ is believed to be hiring around ten members of staff along with managementĀ roles. The branch is to be located on South Methven Street yards from William Hill and Ladbrokes.

It was confirmed this week after several job postings were found on Job Listing websites such as Indeed.co.uk — with around six betting shops in Perth, Perth & Kinross Council face criticism after allowing Perth City down its status. Not just Paddy Power, another Cafe has recently been opened on the same street.

Pam Glennie said: “I think it’s a shame Perth seems to attract so many bookies. They wouldn’t be opening so many if they didn’t make money so I guess there must be a lot of gambling addicts in Perth.”

Another user said: “Still more evidence of the slow but inexorable decline of Perth”

Perthshire law firm Macnabs awarded for Will Aid effort

Macnabs, a leading law firm in Perthshire has raised more than Ā£10,000 for charity this year after taking part in a will-writing campaign where lawyers generously give up their time for free to write Wills for local people in exchange for a donation. Macnabs has taken part in the annual Will Aid scheme for the sixth time and raised an impressive Ā£10,795 this year in the month-long fundraiser, making them the highest fundraising firm in Perthshire and second-highest in Scotland. This is the 6th year Macnabs has taken part, raising a fantastic Ā£33,079 to date. Partner Althea Kennedy comments: ā€œAt Macnabs we know that Will Aid helps such worthwhile causes and for us to be part of that and to give something back has been wonderful. Over the past few years weā€™ve raised more and more and have seen so many of our clients benefiting from the campaign. It is so important that people make a Will ā€“ without one the law decides how your estate is passed on, and this might not be in line with your wishes. ā€œWe have also signed up for the 2017 campaign and appointments are filling up fast, so if you would like to make your Will this November, please do get in touch. It is very easy to make a Will ā€“ and it will save your family unnecessary distress at an already difficult time.ā€ Andrea Hay, Partner and Head of the Private Client team, adds: ā€œEven if you already have a Will, it is important to update it every 3-5 years, especially if your circumstances have changed. If you now have children or grandchildren, if you are recently divorced or separated, or have a Partner but are not legally married, or if perhaps a beneficiary named in your Will has deceased, then make sure your Will reflects what you want to happen when you die.ā€
