Thank you to everyone who came to our event last night NPF4 Is it Working for People and Planet? 15 powerful stories including the fight to save St Fitticks Park and Coul Links including also @InchinnanT @bscgscotland savekingsmeadow Scottish Aquaculture Reform Network & more


Many thanks to @ArianeBurgessHI for hosting our parliamentary event last night. We showcased our community-led research looking at how far #biodiversity is now protected in #NPF4. Great to see so many communities and planners there. Still lots to do. planningdemocracy.org.uk/2024/we-launch…


With so many local authorities starting to prepare their Local Development Plans we've done a blog to help you navigate the Plandemonium and find out how to get involved!! planningdemocracy.org.uk/2023/its-pland…


Looking forward to hearing our speakers Ariane Burgess MSP and Jane from Ferniehill at our Annual Gathering tonight 6pm at Augustine Church, George IV Bridge. All welcome.
