The Regional Groups are also consulted on current issues, and serve as a means of sounding opinion within the Society.
There is a separate Society for Wales - the current chair of the Planning Officers Society for Wales is Phil Williams from Cardiff Council (phil.williams@cardiff.gov.uk)
For Scotland the correspondence address for the Heads of Planning Scotland is secretary@hopscotland.org.uk; their website is www.hopscotland.org.uk
