Question

To ask the Scottish Government what recent discussions it has had with COSLA regarding the use of local authority powers to tackle vehicle idling.


Answer

The Scottish Government regularly engages with COSLA on air quality matters. However there have been no recent discussions on the specific issue of local authority powers to tackle vehicle idling, as the authorities themselves are best placed to make decisions on implementation.
