1 SPR STL From: Jimmy McMenemie Sent: 03 September 2024 21:28 To: SPR STL Subject: The Old Post Office Logierait Perthshire Categories: CAUTION: This email originated from an external organisation. Do not follow guidance, click links, or open attachments unless you have verified the sender and know the content is safe. Dear I write to you, further to my telephone conversation with you today with regard to the application for a short term let licence from the company below. I was contacted yesterday by my neighbour with regard to the application of a Mr George Yates of Dunaird Coach House, St Marys Road, Birnam, Perthshire PH8 0BJ whose company The Canyoning Company/ Tay Bunkhouse Ltd, Company Number SC592957 owns and uses the Old Post Office in Logierait for a Stag Party, Hen Party wild house. The house is hardly fitting for a couple with perhaps one child, let alone parties of up to 14 people. These parties go on well into the early morning, the latest one was last weekend and went on until 3.30am to 4am, with shrieks, bottles breaking, swearing, loud music, car doors banging and if you dare to object you receive the most vile response,these parties have taken place regularly almost every weekend for the last 5 to 6 years. When I remarked to my neighbour that it would have been better if I had had a bit more notice from him about the application, he quietly remarked that the public notice was only put up a few days ago. (the end of September 2024). The public notice has been erected on the side of a garden shed in a private garden on the banks of the river where there is absolutely zero public access, and has only been up for a few days. This house is a public nuisance and the owners/proprietors of the Canyoning Company have no regard for the sleep quality or general well being of the residents of Logierait, they live in a peaceful, quiet residential area of Dunkeld. 12 miles away from this nightmare that they own. They have promised multiple times not to take any more large parties, but still actively promote and encourage these parties on their Website to this day. I have lost count of the sleepless nights and anxiety that we have all suffered in Logierait from the Canyoning Companies need to provide accommodation for their wild parties, they have absolutely zero empathy with other human beings and seem preoccupied with making money and having a good time.

Please accept my apologies for the late letter of representation, it was only yesterday that the notice was brought to my attention. Yours sincerely Mr James D McMenemie The Logierait Inn Logierait PH90LJ
