About Us

We're a group of volunteers who live here and want Bertha Park to be the best neighbourhood in Perth. The estate went up fast — we're making sure the community keeps up.

We organise events, liaise with Perth & Kinross Council, keep an eye on planning applications, and generally try to make sure no one feels like a stranger on their own street.

The residents group is open to everyone. No fees, no forms. Just turn up, get involved, and bring your best casserole to the next street party.

Founded: 2021, in a field that's now someone's back garden.

What Neighbours Say

"I moved here not knowing a soul. Six months later I've got three people I'd trust with my house keys."
— Fiona, Osprey Crescent
"The loch walk on a winter morning, herons in the mist, kids throwing stones — nowhere I'd rather be."
— Hamish & Donna, Almond Drive
"We got flooded in January. Half the street turned up with mops. Never felt so looked after in my life."
— Priya, Birchwood Avenue
Important Notice

We need more hands on the noticeboard.

The residents group runs entirely on volunteers. Got two hours a month? Can you organise a plant swap? Willing to attend the occasional dry council meeting on our behalf? We'd love to have you. Bring whoever moved in next door — they probably want to get involved too.

No commitment required. Come to one meeting. If you hate it, no hard feelings.
