We look forward to working with the government on the proposed workforce strategy, as detailed in the new Institute for Government report on overcoming the barriers to #housebuilding 👇 #planningreform #housing
[NEW] How the government can build more homes Fixing the housing crisis has featured in every recent UK government’s list of top priorities. But why have many found it difficult to deliver on housebuilding pledges? Our report from Sophie Metcalfe identifies the persistent barriers to progress, and sets out 10 principles that Starmer's government, and future ones, should adopt to underpin a better approach to reach the higher levels of housebuilding that England needs. 📖 Read the full analysis https://lnkd.in/eqHUWMhu #housebuilding #housingpolicy #housing #rentalmarket #ukgovernment #labourparty #keirstarmer

If you’re interested in making a difference in your region or nation, have you considered putting yourself forward for a role on one of the boards or committees in our local elections? Nominations are now open for various positions. Find out more: www.rtpi.org.uk/elections Our regional committees play a vital role in supporting the work of the RTPI at a local level. We have two committees in each of our nine English Regions: • Regional Management Boards (RMBs) oversee a programme of regional activity through the preparation, monitoring and delivery of the Regional Business Plan. • Our Regional Activities Committees (RACs) help to deliver the plan. Members of the RAC will get involved in a range of activities – all of which are member led, and designed to support members locally. Typically, this involves organising CPD and social programmes, writing blogs and newsletters, supporting our awards and educational outreach as well as other activities. Our committees are supported by RTPI Regional Coordinators – who act as a key contact for members and volunteers alike. Each of the RTPI Nations has an Executive Committee which has a remit to: • Supervise, promote and direct the Institute's relations in that nation on planning issues (other than education and membership) with central and local government, other professional bodies pressure groups or the general public • Implement and monitor within that nation policies for the development of planning thought • Support and assist the National Director • Supervise and sustain Chapters where appropriate • Inform the Board of Trustees of issues it should be made aware of • Support members in their professional practices
