Scottish Rural Parliament coming to Orkney

The first Scottish Rural Parliament is inviting people in Orkney to take part in their discussions at an event in the St Magnus Centre, Kirkwall, on September 11.

Peter Scott, chairman of Voluntary Action Orkney said: “This is a valuable opportunity for local people to find out more about the Scottish Rural Parliament and to contribute their opinions to the discussions at the very first Scottish Rural Parliament later this year. I encourage you to attend the event if you can to share the challenges and achievements of our community.”

The very first Scottish Rural Parliament will be taking place in Oban, Argyll & Bute in November and will bring together 400 decision-makers, organisations and people from rural communities across Scotland.

The Rural Parliament will produce a shared vision for rural Scotland with identified actions to be taken at community, regional, national and EU level, whilst celebrating the strengths and achievements of rural communities.
