That the Parliament recognises what it sees as the damaging impact that anti-social behaviour has on communities, including in the Midlothian North and Musselburgh constituency; believes that this behaviour impacts on residents' safety and affects local businesses; notes the view that it is necessary to support young people and their families to ensure that anti-social behaviour is stopped at the source; believes that anti-social behaviour in Musselburgh and other coastal towns spikes in the summer months; recognises the hard work of Police Scotland in dealing with anti-social behaviour, and notes the calls for the Scottish Government to review and continue to support programmes aimed at preventing youth anti-social behaviour.
