Clare Carr-Duff School Meals Kitchen Manager and Joanna Ashurst from Urban Outreach SPECIAL food parcels are being sent to pupils who are self-isolating as a result of the pandemic. The council s school catering service has teamed up Urban Outreach to provide the food packages to children who would normally receive school meals. The parcels are being provided and distributed by the catering service and the Bolton based charity. Deliveries began at the end of November and so far, more than 600 food parcels have already been distributed to children across the borough. Cllr Adele Warren, Executive Cabinet Member for Environmental Services Delivery, said: “It’s fantastic to see our staff working alongside a local charity during these unprecedented times to ensure children unable to attend school are still receiving a meal.”
RESIDENTS are invited to have their say in tackling the climate emergency by sharing their ideas for making Bolton a greener place. Bolton Council and local partners are developing a 10-year action plan, and residents and business can voice their suggestions in an online survey. People now have until January 29th 2021 to take part in an online consultation which asks local residents to think about the best options for reducing carbon emissions. The survey has been put together by Bolton Vision Partnership, a group of local organisations from the public, private and voluntary sectors who work together to improve life in Bolton.
