Communities rally to feed disadvantaged children during the holidays
Communities in the Skegness area are rallying to provide free meals for disadvantaged children after MPs voted to reject a plan to extend the service into the school holidays.
The government is facing mounting pressure for a u-turn on the decision, which was supported by eight out of nine Lincolnshire MPs, including Matt Warman, Boston and Skegness, and Victoria Atkins, Louth and Horncastle, including Spilsby.
Labour called for the provision of hot food for children to carry on until Easter 2021, however the motion was defeated by a majority of 61.
