Right to Food Motion
This council recognises the impact the scourge of food poverty is having on families right across this area, made worse by the cost of living emergency, and gives its formal backing to the Right To Food campaign, joining cities like Belfast, Derry and Liverpool in becoming a Right To Food Council.
We believe that this Executive and the British Government must prioritise food poverty, implementing a range of new measures including universal free school meals, support for community kitchens and enshrining the Right To Food for all through legislation.
This council will also write to the Minister for Communities, calling for immediate action on the implementation of an anti-poverty strategy.

That this Council writes to the NI Secretary of State, Chancellor and Prime Minister outlining the work done to date with the Causeway Growth Deal and the impact not proceeding would have for our economy and region.  Council officers are to create a report on the costs occurred to date in the preparation of the growth deal.
