Recommendation (the committee's words)
We believe it would be helpful to maintain the focus we have had this Session on allotments due to their significance in the community empowerment agenda. More generally we recommend a successor committee should maintain an interest in the duties of local authorities under the Good Food Nation (Scotland) Act 2024. Further subordinate legislation on the specified functions is anticipated and the provisions in the Act which place duties on local authorities to report are yet to be commenced. We think implementation of this should be monitored and a successor committee may wish to consider local authority plans when complete.
