QUESTIONS are being asked of a Scottish council after a key flood gate was left open, leading to huge water damage.
They said:"There has been a near unprecedented rise in water levels in the Tay overnight and the warning came too late to close the floodgates at the North Inch.Scottish Tory MSP Murdo Fraser said:"I have been inundated this morning with calls and emails from Perth and Perthshire residents raising concerns about yesterday’s flooding, particularly failure to close the North Inch floodgates.
A spokesperson for the council said: “We understand how distressing flooding events are for people and this weekend has been extremely challenging for many people. “We will be reviewing our response to the incident to see what can be learned for future events. We will also be speaking to residents to hear about their experiences to better understand what happened and the impact on them.
A business whose basement flooded on Sunday called for an open inquiry into why the gate was not shut."Our thoughts go out to all the local residents and businesses affected by the flooding.
