Rejected petition Stop Halton Borough Council from scrapping free school meals service.

I would like the government to force Halton Borough Council to do a U Turn on scrapping free school meal services. Potentially give Halton Borough Council increased funding solely for free school meals.

More details

School children are some of our most vulnerable people in society and children should not go without food due to the councils mis management of its finances.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about free school meals, above and beyond national arrangements for free school meals, are a matter for individual local authorities, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor who represents you. You can find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them, by entering your post code here: https://www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
