The Cross Party Group on Islands in the Scottish Parliament provides a forum for the discussion of issues relevant to Scotland’s islands and the residents of island communities, and it aims to improve links between the Scottish Parliament and island communities. Secretariat for the CPG is provided by Scottish Rural Action and the Scottish Islands Federation.
The last meeting of the CPG Islands, held on 28th February, focused on the National Islands Plan (NIP) which is currently under review by the Scottish Government. The topic proved so popular CPG registrations reached almost 100 people and the discussion time had to be extended by 30 minutes!
With this in mind we are pleased to let you know that the theme of the National Islands Plan will continue for this forthcoming CPG meeting on Wednesday 22 May from 13:00 to 14:00, online. This time the scene will be set by members of the Young Islanders Network (YIN) who sit on the NIP Delivery Group, followed by Francesco Bertoldi, Islands Team Leader in the Scottish Government.
Anyone with an interest in Scotland’s islands is most welcome to attend and you can register through Eventbrite here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/895371007787?aff=oddtdtcreator
