That the Parliament congratulates West Dunbartonshire Council on being awarded the Soil Association Scotland Food for Life Served Here award; understands that the council won a Bronze award for its school meals; notes that the award scheme covers 32 primary and ASN and 29 early years settings; further notes that West Dunbartonshire Council was the 16th local authority in Scotland to achieve a Food for Life Served Here award; celebrates the fact that the award recognises local authorities that serve freshly prepared, healthy meals, made using locally produced and sustainable ingredients; understands that the Food for Life Scotland programme is run by Soil Association Scotland and supports local authorities to put more Scottish food on school dinner plates; celebrates the fact that West Dunbartonshire Council was able to achieve this award during a pandemic, and sees this as testament to the hard work and dedication of the council’s catering team.
