I'm doing a webinar! Can't wait to speak to everyone about this (and gather some ideas about how we put it right!)
It's time for our final webinar in our series on Planning and Biodiversity, with Planning Democracy.

Join us on 5th February 7pm to hear about the importance of Conditions and Enforcement in Planning for protecting nature and wildlife, and how communities can be involved.

Planning Conditions and Enforcement
We will look at what planning conditions are, how they work and how they are enforced.

I went for a wee walk to process my first ORFC today. It connected so many dots and I’d go again in a heartbeat. Now back at my desk thinking about community participation and land use, keen to meet others working on this in Scotland!

Planning Democracy is on Bluesky! A brilliant grassroots organisation working on systemic democratic deficits, inequalities and environmental justice in land use planning in Scotland
We've just joined Bluesky!
What do we do? Find out by reading this wonderful blog by Kate from Cumbernauld & Carbrain Community Hub. It's about a workshop on planning rights we ran with our partners @aprscotland.bsky.social, with support from the Corra Foundation.

It’s been fantastic to be part of the team working with 345 citizens throughout #TheFoodConversation this past year. People across the UK want change and the movement is growing.

It was incredible to watch citizens from #TheFoodConversation take the stage in Westminster on Tuesday to share their experiences, highlight important questions, and make a collective call for change to the food system. So much passion and clarity.
Standing room only at our Citizens Food Summit yesterday!

A huge thank you to our speakers, inc. @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social @proftimjackson.bsky.social & so many more. To our citizens from #TheFoodConversation who showed we are all experts when it comes to food. And to everyone who came down.
