The committees will focus on areas such as housing/climate/culture/planning/finance/economic development and transport, and the PPN will then ask for nominations from the Member Groups.
If you are interested in committee work, and have experience of a representative role, perhaps this voluntary role is for you. Please email Ruth on if you would like to find out more about the responsibilities and time commitments.
Only PPN Member Groups can nominate.
