Minute of Previous Meeting 4.1 The Minute of the Previous Meeting The Minute of the Meeting of 8 May 2025 was submitted for approval and was unanimously approved as a correct record. 4.2 Action Log The Chair noted that all items are due for closure in September 2025 and asked that commentary is added to confirm completion and recommendation for closure at the next meeting where applicable. The Chair highlighted that there were no reports submitted from SFRS due to a change in reporting cycles, which is the case for both SFRS and Police Scotland, and recommended that this information is taken to the Standing Orders Working Group so meeting frequency can be reviewed. 5.

Councillor Curran nominated Councillor Parry as Chair of the PFRB, seconded by Councillor McEwan. Decision The Board noted the recommendations and approved Councillor Parry as the Chair. Agenda No. Report Title Presented by: 5.2 Police Scotland Midlothian Scrutiny Q1 Report 2025/2026 Midlothian Local Area Commander Outline of report and summary of discussion The Midlothian Local Area Commander presented the Midlothian Scrutiny Q1 Report 2025/2026 providing detail on each subject and highlighted the salient points within. The Chair thanked the Midlothian Local Area Commander for their report and invited questions. Councillor Smaill commented on the effecting policing and noted that Midlothian are well under the Scottish position in relation to drugs and burglaries and that there have been great successes seen in dealing with off-road bikes. Councillor Smaill added that the Federation of Community Councils would like to meet with the Midlothian Local Area Commander but understood that Police Scotland were unable to join an MS Teams call, which is the digital platform used by most Community Councils. Additionally, Councillor Smaill suggested that the Midlothian Local Area Commander share some 101 response times from Bilston with Community Councils to provide reassurance, given that the Midlothian Community Action Teams (MCAT) are likely to be removed. The Midlothian Local Area Commander confirmed that the MCAT Officers have not been displaced from Midlothian, all 11 Officers are still working in Midlothian under their command and are available to be used as they see fit, they are just not under the banner of MCAT. The Midlothian Local Area Commander added that the Chief Constable has a new 2030 vision for safer communities and part of that was to carry out a review, across all Police Scotland business, to ensure all areas are working as effectively as they can to design a sustainable model to get the right resource in the right place at the right time. The Midlothian Local Area Commander wants the community to feel safer from visible policing. The Police Scotland Officers work hard for the people of Midlothian and are very proud of the work that they do. In terms of meeting with Community Councils, the Midlothian Local Area Commander advised that Inspector David Rourke will be visiting them to provide reassurance and oversight. In relation to the 101 call times, the Midlothian Local Area Commander agreed that response times on the phone require improvement. Police Scotland are aware that there are parts of this service that are not working as well as they should and there are teams working to address those issues. Locally, a service Page 5 of 40
Page 6
delivery hub has been implemented where Modified Officers are being used to relieve the demand on the front-line policing and control centres, providing more personal contact quickly. The Board queried the figures in relation to the reports on attempted rape and domestic abuse and asked if it was at the discretion of the Police Officer to which crime type these may be. The Midlothian Local Area Commander confirmed that this decision was led by legislation and that there are specific criteria that must be met for each crime. It is important to support the survivor through the incident as both are distressing, impactful and will cause significant trauma. The initial stages of support are victim-led. The Chair added that they had significant concerns in relation to the rape statistics for Q1. The Chair appreciated the context around the historical reporting and asked for a breakdown of the statistics to get a view on whether there is a genuine rise in current cases. The PFRB were supportive of a deeper dive into these statistics. The Midlothian Local Area Commander acknowledged the Chair’s point and agreed to review the wider context and report back to the PFRB. The Board were pleased to see more Police activity within schools and would welcome more information on this in the future, as requested at a previous meeting. The Midlothian Local Area Commander confirmed that it was an oversight that this information was not included in the Q1 report and that there had been no blue-light incidents in any of Midlothian’s schools for the Q1 period and will ensure this is in the reporting going forward. The PFRB discussed road safety concerns, particularly concerning large vehicles driving down Roslin Glen, Polton Glen and Penicuik Glen, and asked if there would be an update on this in the Q2 reporting. The Midlothian Local Area Commander confirmed that this would be covered in Q2 and advised that work on road safety is ongoing and subject to constant review with their partnerships. The Chair passed on their condolences to the family and friends of the person that died at Roslin Glen. The PFRB asked about the prevention of drugs, how this is occurring nationally and in Midlothian, and whether people using the services of No 11 for support are being allowed to access without fear of being stopped. The Midlothian Local Area Commander advised that dealing with drug issues in Midlothian is still a priority and taken very seriously as drugs remain at the centre of other crimes and what Police Scotland deal with. The Midlothian Local Area Commander advised that the Proactive Crime Team focus on diversion, detection, deterrence and disruption. In addition, the 11 Officers who were previously MCAT Officers review drugs intelligence daily. In terms of No11, the Midlothian Local Area Commander noted that there is a balance to be met, it is a fantastic service to the people of Midlothian, but on occasion Police Scotland have had to speak to users. The Midlothian Local Area Commander acknowledged that Police visits are not well received but they are duty bound to investigate any reports that are made and any such incidents are treated as sensitively as possible. The PFRB asked whether the introduction of the 20 miles per hour (mph) speed limit had helped prevent accidents. The Midlothian Local Area Commander advised that they could only take enforcement on the 20mph restriction if they Page 6 of 40
Page 7
have the data in relation to casualties being linked to that and therefore, they cannot confirm that there has been a reduction due to the reduction in the speed limit specifically. The Board asked whether the enforcement of the 20mph is more focussed in areas where there have been accidents. The Midlothian Local Area Commander advised that their focus in relation to road safety, and about the 20mph speed restriction, is driven by casualties or reports of offences, which links back to the earlier point about having Officers in the right place at the right time. Councillor Curran added that they had numerous emails and feedback since the implementation of the 20mph speed limit and asked if there would be an opportunity for Councillors to review any data and potentially reconsider specific areas. The Chief Officer Place advised that the speed restrictions were implemented following an audit of the roads and that this was evidence based. The Chief Officer Place acknowledged that there are some stretches of road where the 20mph speed limit may not be most conducive in terms of transportation. A second review will be done on the roads with higher speed limits in Midlothian (40mph, 50mph and 60mph) and, as part of that, a review of the efficacy of the 20mph limit rollout can be done. If required, and in consultation with Police Scotland in relation to road safety, adjustments potentially can be made. Decision The Board noted the update. Action Provide a breakdown of the rape statistics between historical and current incidents - Police Scotland. Agenda No. Report Title Presented by: 5.3 Scottish Fire and Rescue Service Q1 Performance Report Area Commander - Midlothian, East Lothian and Scottish Borders Outline of report and summary of discussion The Area Commander - Midlothian, East Lothian and Scottish Borders advised the PFRB that SFRS has moved to a national cycle of six-monthly reporting and this aligns with what is delivered to East Lothian and Scottish Borders. The next report will be submitted for scrutiny at the meeting of PFRB on Monday 8 December 2025. The Area Commander - Midlothian, East Lothian and Scottish Borders provided some key updates in the service. While Midlothian is not directly affected, the Service Delivery Review public consultation, which had approximately 3000 responses, concluded on 17 September 2025, and the results communicated via email to all Elected Members across Scotland. Phased delivery of plans will commence from February 2026. There has been ongoing progress in terms of the build specification of Dalkeith Fire Station, and the costing is now complete. Building contractors are expected Page 7 of 40
Page 8
to be onsite in the next few weeks to commence preparations, and the completion date is early 2027. The Group Commander provided an update on prevention activity and advised that they had recently concluded an older person’s initiative. This is due to be rolled out in Midlothian following a trial in the Scottish Borders due to some fatal fires in the area, where those involved were over the age of 65. There has also been some work on premises responsible persons through legislative intervention and inspection regime. There were some gaps identified in schools in relation to their understanding of the role and further training has been provided. Work with partner agencies to prepare for Bonfire Night is due to commence shortly. In Q1 there were 67 home fire safety visits within Midlothian, all of which would have previously been considered as high-risk; however, they are no longer graded in this way. In the Dalkeith area, there have been 6 community safety activities with youth groups and schools. The Chair thanked the Area Commander - Midlothian, East Lothian and Scottish Borders the Group Commander for their report and invited questions. The Board asked for more information on the cause of the fatal fires in the Scottish Borders and if there is any learning that can be shared. The Group Commander advised that recent fatalities had different causes, but the correlation was that those involved were all over 65 years old which is why that group is a focus. The Chair noted that next time the PFRB meet Bonfire Night will have passed and asked for details on the preventative measures being taken. The Group Commander advised that it would be a similar approach to previous years, and the engagement paper can be shared with Elected Members. The Community Action Team will be out locally before Bonfire Night and Halloween to raise awareness and reduce fires, this will include visiting youth groups and schools. The Board asked about the safety of lithium batteries, whether there is an increase in their contribution to fires, and if educating people on the safe use and safe disposal if required. The Group Commander advised that, in terms of the use of lithium batteries, they are not seeing a large number of incidents. In terms of disposal, across Scotland we are seeing fires because of the incorrect disposal, and they are currently looking at options to increase awareness, such as adding stickers to wheelie bins. SFRS has been in contact with Midlothian Council and there may be an option to jointly finance this in the future. The Chief Officer Place advised that Midlothian Council are moving towards Twin Streaming, and several public communications will be issued along with new bins. Additional literature on how to use the new bins will be issued and information on the safe disposal of lithium batteries will be included. Decision The Board noted the update. Page 8 of 40

Action Circulate the engagement paper in relation to the Bonfire Night preparation and preventative measures to Elected Members - SFRS Agenda No. Report Title Presented by: 5.4 Protective Services Q1 Report 2025/26 Chief Officer Place Outline of report and summary of discussion The Chief Officer Place presented the Protective Services Q1 Report 2025/26 and highlighted the salient points within. The Chair thanked the Chief Officer Place for their report and invited questions. The Board asked, in view of what was reported by Police Scotland in relation to shoplifting, whether the Council can assist the Police and traders to protect their staff and our constituents by insisting CCTV is on the premises as a condition of licences. The Chief Officer Place advised that, for preventative CCTV, it is often a matter of cost for the smaller retailers. The Chief Officer Place advised that in terms of licencing standards, discussions are had regarding best placement for layouts, mitigation against theft and shoplifting. The Board asked if the Council have the authority to make that a condition of licencing. The Chief Officer Place advised that the Council cannot make this a duty upon traders to install CCTV, but they can be encouraged to do everything possible to deter and prevent. Councillor McEwan congratulated the Midlothian Council Trading Standards Team for their swift action. The Chair asked for some context around the environmental health information on page 42 of the meeting papers where there has been in increase in the statistics between Q4 and Q1 in terms of interventions and samples taken. The Chief Officer Place advised that the samples are driven by local concerns and there is a Scottish National Food Enforcement Liaison Committee that devised national campaigns that tend to come around at the end of the calendar year. The Board highlighted the Transport Scotland Act 2019 and pavement parking and asked if, as the local authority, Midlothian Council has the discretion over which streets are covered and whether the ban is enforced. There have been instances where neighbours are asking others to remove their vehicles, which is not practicable. Also, other local authorities are allowing delivery vehicles to park on pavements for up to 20 minutes. There is confusion in the public as to whether this law in in force. The Chief Officer Place confirmed that Midlothian Council took the approach to apply the pavement parking ban across the board and then seek feedback and assessment to determine whether any exemptions would be applied, particularly in areas where there are complaints, or impacts in infrastructure or road safety concerns. The Board asked if the law is universal throughout Midlothian, but the enforcement is determined by risk, such as emergency vehicle access, and whether if delivery drivers parked on pavements is overlooked if they are not causing obstructions. The Chief Officer Place confirmed that if anyone is parked on a pavement the Parking Attendant can give a Parking Charge Notice for that Page 9 of 40
Page 10
offence and that there is a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section on the Council website with additional information. In terms of prioritisation, due to the restricted number of Parking Attendants, particular areas of concern of threat or risk and where there are complaints, are given focus to invoke a behavioural change. The Board highlighted the increase in disability blue badge fixed penalty notices and asked if the public were aware that a charge will be issued if a badge is not on display. The Chief Officer Place advised that it is the law that you should not park in a disabled bay if you do not have a blue badge and those that do so are likely to get a charge if a Parking Attendant is in the vicinity. In terms of publicising this more, the Council website has information on the blue badge scheme. The Board asked if there were more details behind the statistics on Fixed Penalty Notices to help identify the areas of behavioural change. The Chief Officer Place agreed to ask the information provider for more granular information that can be reported back to PFRB. The Chief Officer Place added that where statistics may increase from Q4 to Q1, this may be due to Parking Attendants moving on to another prioritisation area. Decision The Board noted the update. Action Provide more granular information in relation to the Fixed Penalty Notice statistics to help identify behavioural change – Chief Officer Place. 6.

13. Glossary of Terms Term - What it means ADF Accidental Dwelling Fire. HFSV Home Fire Safety Visit. PDIR Post Domestic Incident Response, a term used to indicate actions taken following attendance at a fire or other incident in the home. PDIRs include amongst things the offer of a free follow up home fire safety visit. RTC Road Traffic Collision. Special Service Calls to incidents which are not fires or false alarms such as RTCs, rescues, flooding, incidents involving hazardous materials or the provision of assistance to other agencies. UFAS Unwanted Fire Alarm Signals. When an automatic fire detection and alarm system is activated as a result of anything other than an actual fire the activation is classed as a false alarm. If an attendance is made to such an event by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, then the event is recorded as an UFAS incident. UFAS Policy Change In response to COVID, on the 6th May 2020, the SFRS decided to send 1 pump to UFAS premises that did not have their own Predetermined attendance (PDA). As of 1st July 2023, the COVID interim 1 pump response was ended and a new UFAS policy was implemented. The new policy is to call challenge all UFAS incidents with the intention of non-attendance. Hospitals, care homes, and sleeping risk premises are all exempt and receive either 2 pumps or their premise specific PDA. 202509/10/25 © Scottish Fire & Rescue ServiceReport generated on Page 29 of 40
