To ask the Scottish Executive what the outcomes have been of its discussions about high hedges with groups and organisations, as referred to by the Cabinet Secretary for Justice in a parliamentary debate on 2 April 2009 (Official Report c. 16554).

The answer

Answered by Fergus Ewing on 1 May 2009 · 15 days after it was lodged, on time

The Scottish Government had a very productive meeting with Scothedge, the organisation which seeks to secure legislation on this issue in Scotland, on 2 April 2009. I wrote to the Public Petitions Committee on 23 April to provide its members with an update and a copy of the note of the meeting''s outcomes, which had been agreed with Scothedge. My letter and the meeting note can be viewed on the Parliament''s website at www.scottish.parliament.uk, under Written Submissions for Petition PE984.
