Sue Bridge has taken on the role of President of the RTPI for 2023 following her Inauguration on Wednesday 18 January.
Sue has worked in the public and private planning sectors as a town planner for local government, a major housebuilder, head of planning for a large borough council and is now an independent planning consultant.
In her Inauguration speech, Sue said that all planners have a shared ambition to work for the common good and ‘to create great places, where people want to live, work and play; healthy places which nourish us and the world about us.’
Sue has placed the welfare of planners high on her agenda for 2023 and began the year by launching the RTPI’s legal and well-being helplines across the UK.
RTPI members will have free access to the My Healthy Advantage app and online portal from Health Assured. This includes well-being resources such as webinars, videos, podcasts and guides on topics like resilience at work, nutrition & stress management, as well as 4-week self-help programmes.
