Call to ban ‘Mosquito’ alarms
YOUTH MSP Kit McCarthy will make the case for outlawing high-pitched “Mosquito” alarms at Holyrood today.
The alarms emit a high frequency sound, which most adults are unable to hear, to disperse groups of teenagers.
Mr McCarthy, who represents North East Fife in the Scottish Youth Parliament, will make the case that the alarms infringe “children and young people’s rights” at a public petitions committee meeting this morning.
