Motion text

That this House commends Bersted Parish Council for organising its annual Summer Playscheme, providing a free packed lunch for all local children every Thursday and Friday during the school holidays as well as entertainment; recognises that the summer holidays can place significant additional financial pressure on parents and families, and welcomes this scheme's role in helping to alleviate that burden; thanks the Rotary Club of Bognor Hotham for providing and funding the packed lunches; and calls on the Government to provide greater support to parish councils in facilitating similar schemes within their communities across the country.
