Flood gates closed on South Inch and North Inch

The flood gates have been closed on the South Inch and North Inch in Perth.

The gates at the harbour and lower Friarton have also been closed, with the exception of five gates providing access to businesses.

Homes in Rose Terrace and Barossa Place were swamped as torrential rain battered the city on Wednesday.

It comes after properties in the two streets were deluged when the River Tay burst its banks in October.

Many residents have been unable to return to their homes since the last flood, which happened after Perth and Kinross Council left the North Inch floodgates open.

Trains are also facing disruption across Tayside on Thursday with safety checks set to be carried out.
