A Falkirk councillor has called for more support to be given to victims of anti-social behaviour. Billy Buchanan, who represents Bonnybridge and Larbert, staged a protest at the Scottish Parliament on Wednesday hoping to win backing for tougher legislation that he believes is needed to help people suffering anti-social behaviour.
The Independent councillor - a former Provost of Falkirk - said that he has seen a huge increase in anti-social behaviour and, he says, statistics show the problem is found across Scotland. After the protest Cllr Buchanan said: "There was a huge interest from the public - we stood at the very front entrance and people were asking questions and everybody was really supportive of what we were doing."
With Cllr Buchanan on the day was former Conservative councillor David Grant. Among those lending his support was Conservative MSP Alexander Stewart, who spoke to Cllr Buchanan and victims of anti-social behaviour.
