The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Fife Coast and Countryside Trust on receiving a commendation in the category Excellence in Planning for Heritage and Culture for the Fife Pilgrim Way project at the Royal Town Planning Institute Awards for Planning Excellence 2022; understands that the Fife Pilgrim Way, which opened in 2017, stretches for 64 miles from North Queensferry and winds through the heart of Fife and less well-known areas to arrive at the spectacular ruins of St Andrews Cathedral; recognises that the trail pays homage to Fife’s rich medieval past, while bringing to life its history, geography and industrial heritage for locals and visitors alike; notes that the project was the only Scottish planning project entry to receive a prize, despite competing against multi-million pound projects across the UK; understands that the judges commended the Fife Pilgrim Way for its outstanding engagement and monitoring to show how the scheme had progressed, and felt that the submission did more to connect economic value to health and wellbeing, with great use of project management skills; considers that the Royal Town Planning Institute Awards for Planning Excellence are the most established and respected awards in the UK planning industry; understands that they have run for over 40 years and celebrate exceptional examples of planning and the contribution planners make to society, and congratulates all those involved in the project.
