Running from 1pm to 7pm, the drop-in session will allow residents directly or indirectly impacted by the blaze and subsequent road and building closures to meet council staff and those from partner agencies who will be able to answer questions and provide advice.

Around 50 families have been displaced because of the blaze, which occurred in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Residents should arrive at the main entrance to the council offices at 2 High Street, Perth.

Information will be available on a range of issues including:

• Housing
• Welfare Rights
• Local taxes
• Access to properties
• Donations
• Mental Health and Wellbeing support
• Social work
• Community Support and engagement and more

Councillor Eric Drysdale, deputy leader of Perth and Kinross Council and ward member for Perth city centre, said: “The devastating consequences of last weekend’s tragic fire will be felt for months to come.

“Our thoughts remain with those affected, not least the friends and relatives of the man who sadly lost his life in the blaze.

“People who lived at 41 Scott Street lost everything in the blaze and now face the challenge of rebuilding their lives. Residents and nearby businesses also face being unable to access their homes and premises for weeks or months. Whatever we can do to help them, we will.

“The response from the people of Perth and Kinross to this emergency has been humbling. The generosity people and businesses have shown has been exemplary.

“But we know that those affected will still have many questions as they begin to move forward. We want to do everything we can to help them and Tuesday’s event will, I believe, help provide some of those answers.

“We know it is a long road ahead but will continue doing all we can to support those in their hour of need.”
