PE984, from Dr Colin Watson, on behalf of Scothedge, is on complaints relating to vigorous growing trees, hedges, vines and other plants. The petition has been discussed in the committee before. I understand that the Minister for Community Safety has met the petitioner to move forward on a series of issues that are raised in the petition and that the petitioner regards that as a positive development. In the light of that, I recommend that we close the petition. We may wish to record our appreciation of the fact that the petitioner has pursued the matter over a substantial period. We hope that there can be a proper resolution of the concerns that he has raised through discussion with the minister and the appropriate agencies. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
