A Falkirk councillor is set to stage a Scottish Parliament protest about a rise in anti-social behaviour, saying the system "is simply not working and overwhelmed".
Independent Bonnybridge councillor Billy Buchanan says he is frustrated at a huge surge in cases that mean many people "do not feel safe in their own areas".
The former Provost has written to the Minister for Community Safety, Ash Regan, to advise her that he will be protesting outside the Scottish Parliament next week and has asked her to come and meet him.
