Ministers regularly discuss matters of importance, including budget priorities and the views of stakeholders, in the run-up to the Scottish Budget. Decisions on non-domestic rates policy for 2026-27 will be set out on in the budget on 13 January 2026. The Non-Domestic Rates Consultative group will continue to meet regularly, providing an opportunity for ongoing discussion on how the non-domestic rates system can best support business growth, investment and competitiveness and the impact of external events such as the 2026 revaluation. After the final valuation roll becomes available on 1 April 2026, the Scottish Government will publish a report on the 2026 revaluation as it did at the 2023 revaluation.

Ministers meet regularly with both Police Scotland and the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities, including to discuss antisocial behaviour.

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.
