Police Scotland inform us there have been no antisocial behaviour orders issued in Fife in relation to the use of quad bikes over the past five years and that information on the number of fixed penalty notices issued for inappropriate use of quad bikes is not held centrally.

Reducing the impact of antisocial behaviour is a top priority for Police Scotland in Fife, as outlined within the West Fife and Coastal Villages Multi Member Ward Plan 2014. Local community policing teams are ideally placed to engage with members of their community to identify areas causing concern which can be prioritised for proactive patrols to prevent repeat instances of such behaviour and deal with any offences. In Fife, school based officers often undertake diversionary work aiming to explain the impact of antisocial behaviour and outlining the legal implications of such behaviour.

Police Scotland report that a total of 151 quad bikes have been stolen in Fife over the past five years with the figure of 43 for 2014 representing an increased incidence of this kind of crime and a figure in excess of the average (30.2) over the period 2010-14. The breakdown for each year is as follows:

Dundee City Council kept the Scottish Government informed, within the bounds of commercial confidentiality, of the contract negotiations. As part of this, in April 2014, the council informed the Scottish Government that the initial estimate of the price would not be met and that there was a potential impact on the site mobilisation planned for August 2014. The contract price of £80.11 million published by Dundee City Council on 16 January 2015 was shared with the Scottish Government on 18 December 2014.

The Scottish Government has had regular discussions with the V&A Dundee partners since the ambitions for the project were first set out by the partners in June 2008. Ministers most recently met the council on 18 December 2014.
