Last month we were delighted to welcome 17 new student planners, who will undertake a programme of work-based learning over two years in SG, supporting the flow of talent and qualified planners into roles within Government, as well as the wider planning service.

Such sad news yesterday. Barbara was a huge influence on my career. I was lucky enough to have worked with her on RTPI and PAS committees/boards. She was a brilliant planner, and more than that she was super fun. I’ll really miss her.

[Cockburn Association (The Edinburgh Civic Trust) @thecockburn]

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of our recent Chair Barbara Cummins who died yesterday (12 September) peacefully at home following a short illness. 1/2

[Cockburn Association (The Edinburgh Civic Trust) @thecockburn]

Her last formal blog with us summarised her passion for planning, places and Edinburgh so we repost as our tribute to someone who gave so much to the city and Scotland.

Delighted to share in @PAS_tweets 30th anniversary celebrations last night at the Scottish Parliament. Such a fantastic organisation for which I’ve been proud to volunteer for the past 15 years, and have also served as a board member and Chair. Cheers to the next 30
Years!

[Planning Aid Scotland @PAS_tweets]

Thanks to all who joined us last night in the Scottish Parliament to celebrate our 30th anniversary, especially to our sponsor and host @SarahBoyack. We were very pleased to receive the SPIA award & trophy 🏆 from @Ivan_McKee in his new ministerial role and his inspiring speech.

@marathonmaz @RTPIScotland That’s a good way of looking at it too! Let’s have a drink to that! Young planners forever!

[Nikola Miller @NikolaMiller]

I’m here in Glasgow this morning reminiscing about being a “young” planner, and delighted to be taking part in the “where do planners end up” session as part of #SYPC24 @RTPIScotland today. A fab conference programme for the day focussing on Future Planners.

[Sepid Soltani @sepidesoltani]

One of the main objectives of the #SYPC24 was inspiring #youngplanners to consider various roles within this sector. The panel session presented a diverse overviews of where you could end up. Great to hear about personal experiences, challenges and rewards.

[Nikola Miller @NikolaMiller]

@HFSFionna @RTPIScotland Haha thanks Fionna!

[Nikola Miller @NikolaMiller]

Great to hear our Minister @JoeFitzSNP speaking this morning at the #SYPC24 @RTPIScotland acknowledging the important role young planners will play in our journey to net zero.

@calvertplans Congratulations Robbie!

[Nikola Miller @NikolaMiller]

A milestone 20 years. Getting involved back in the early years of the network was so beneficial for my professional development and to meet a fabulous bunch of people who are now colleagues, stakeholders and friends. Thoroughly recommend all young planners get involved! #sypn

@RTPIScotland @MonicaLennon7 @ScotParl @JoeFitzSNP @kirstymacari @RTPIPlanners @JenDivine2 @RTPIYPs @VictoriaRTPI Congratulations @RTPIScotland on this milestone. The SYPN played a really important role in my professional development over the years with CPD and networking opportunities. A great bunch of planners have been involved over the years!
