Rejected petition Kent county council should provide free school meal vouchers over the half term

To get Kent to provide their own free school meals

More details

Because we can’t accept that the 44,710 children in Kent who are living in absolute poverty will go hungry. If the government won’t give out the much needed vouchers, then Kent County Council should.
