To ask the Scottish Government how often ministers meet with local authorities and divisions of Police Scotland to assess the progress of antisocial behaviour strategies.
Ministers meet regularly with both Police Scotland and the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities, including to discuss antisocial behaviour. They do not, however, meet with individual local authorities or Police Scotland divisional commanders to assess the progress of each local antisocial behaviour strategy. This reflects that formal development, review, and revision of these strategies is carried out by each local authority and Police Scotland. This is as set out in section 1 of the Antisocial Behaviour etc. (Scotland) Act 2004.
