The Scottish Government

Throughout April and May 2009, six road shows were held across Scotland with the aim of raising awareness of:

• The contribution planning can make to sustainable economic growth,
• The legal framework within which planning will operate, and
• The central contributions that culture change can make.

The Scottish Government, Heads of Planning Scotland, key Agencies and representatives of the private sector presented to local authority chief executives and elected members as well as front line planning and agency staff.
