'No-one should be going to bed worrying about paying for meals at school.'
Glasgow children’s school meal debt will be cleared by the council with plans underway to make sure no pupils are turned away from dinner queues if they can’t pay.
Speaking outside the chambers, Unite organiser Scot Walker said: “At a time when families are struggling with a cost of greed crisis, I don’t think it can be overstated how far scrapping school meal debt will go towards helping families.” Labour councillor Thomas Rannachan, who seconded the motion, said wages are being stretched, with people deciding what bills to pay first or what bills they simply can’t pay.
Councillors unanimously agreed on the school meals council motion today with the Scottish Greens and Conservatives also voicing support.
