Addiscombe Launch Free Hot School Meals Campaign at Woodside and Davidson Schools

On Friday 12th February 2010 Addiscombe Labour Party launched its Free Hot School Meal Campaign for all Primary School Pupils at Davidson and Woodside Primary Schools. The cost of this pledge will be met from using some of the savings from scrapping the luxury Council HQ that Croydon Tories  are planning to build for themselves.

Patricia Hay-Justice, one of Labour Candidates for Addiscombe Ward said "as a mother I know that providing good hot food is key to my children doing well at school, I welcome this pledge which will help all primary school pupils to get nutritious food every day at school, and will help improve their behaviour and be better able to study."

Sadly local conservatives have already come out against the plan, stating that it is not affordable, but how come then that they are able to apply for a loan of £145million to help bail out their partnership with Laing to help build their flashy new office blocks? It seems that the Tories are more interested in building new Skyscrapers and not building for a better future for our children.
