In Parliament
FMQs: Off-Road Vehicles
I have once again contacted Police Scotland regarding the dangers of the misuse of ‘off-road’ vehicles in our constituency. I acknowledge that some users are responsible, but unfortunately, others are not. I raised the matter with the First Minister in the Scottish Parliament to see how we can support Police Scotland and others to promote responsible usage, as well as take whatever enforcement action is possible.
This can be a major nuisance to communities and a very real danger. We have tragically witnessed fatalities and serious injuries in north Glasgow.
I will work in partnership with others who are seeking to tackle these issues, such as Anne McLaughlin MP who has the Off-Road Vehicles (Registration) Bill lodged at Westminster, and the Home Office who are establishing a Task Force on the matter
