Independent Bonnybridge councillor Billy Buchanan says he is frustrated at a huge surge in cases that mean many people "do not feel safe in their own areas".
The former Provost has written to the Minister for Community Safety, Ash Regan, to advise her that he will be protesting outside the Scottish Parliament next week and has asked her to come and meet him.

In his letter, Cllr Buchanan said: "I have been a councillor for over 30 years and I see major increases in cases. Many people do not feel safe in their own areas and it has caused them to move or consider leaving their homes.

"I feel so sorry for our most vulnerable in society who are living in fear, some prisoners in their own homes.
