This is the list of documents available for the submission Motion by Councillor Alan Gow:- "Council acknowledges what it sees as the significant public safety issues regarding the misuse of off-road vehicles, including motorbikes, quad bikes, e-scooters and e-bikes being used dangerously, inappropriately and often illegally on roads, footpaths and various open spaces, which, it believes, poses a serious risk of injury and risk to life for those driving such vehicles, as well as others within the community. Council considers that their misuse can also have a detrimental impact on a community due to nuisance, antisocial behaviour and damage caused including environmental; notes the belief that mandatory registration of off-road vehicles, which is a reserved power, may assist Police Scotland with what it considers to be the often hazardous and unenviable tasks regarding policing, identification and enforcement. Council notes that an Off-Road Vehicles (Registration) Bill was lodged by Anne McLaughlin MP within the last UK Parliament earlier this year and having received cross-party support that the then UK Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport agreed to establish a task force to look at the wider issues caused by off-road vehicles. Council regrets that the new UK Government has yet to commit to taking this forward and Council believes that it should do so. Council further notes that following a Member's Debate on Tackling the Misuse of Off-road Vehicles led by Bob Doris MSP with cross-party support that the Scottish Government has agreed to establish a Working Group in Scotland including the Scottish Government, local authorities (COSLA), Police Scotland and others to consider what more can be done to keep the public safe and nuisance-free from the misuse of off-road vehicles across Scotland. Council believes that these actions complement our Road Safety Plan 2020 - 2030 and recently established Road Safety & Behaviour Change Working Group led by the Safe Glasgow Chair which will also consider this matter and best practice across the UK and Europe. Council instructs the Chief Executive to write to COSLA and the Scottish Government to agree to participate in their Working Group and resolves to do what it can to assist in reducing the harms to communities and families from such misuse.".
