CHILDREN in receipt of free school meals across Flintshire will have a packed lunch delivered to their door from next week until further notice, the council confirmed

From Monday, March 30, all pupils entitled to free school meals will have a delivery direct to their home address.

This service is provided by NEWydd Catering and Cleaning in partnership with Flintshire County Council and is delivered in place of the usual school meals provided.

It was confirmed that there is no requirement for pupils to be visiting their school or the hub sites.

A spokesman for the council said: “Please ensure that you read the food allergy advice information on the food packaging to avoid any food intolerances.

“Please note that these are interim arrangements and as arrangements change, we will let you know.”
