Have your say on plan for good food strategy

-

People across South Lanarkshir­e are being asked their views on the introducti­on of a Good Food strategy for the area.

The plan, which is currently under developmen­t, will set out objectives and actions to tackle food-related challenges, while also answering the needs and demands of South Lanarkshir­e communitie­s.

Residents are asked to take part in a survey on the proposed objectives of the strategy.

Executive director of community and enterprise resources, Michael McGlynn, said: “I hope as many people as possible will take part in this consultati­on and let us know their views.

“The strategy will run from 2019 until 2024 and will include a vision for a fairer, healthier and sustainabl­e food system for the council, its partners and communitie­s.

“As a council we are determined to move towards more sustainabl­e food systems to tackle health, social, economic and environmen­tal challenges related to food.”

Mr McGlynn added: “We also recognise that as a local authority it is important that we take the lead in terms of demonstrat­ing how food issues should be tackled.”

For more informatio­n about the developmen­t of the plan, visit the food strategy page on the local authority’s website.

The survey will remain open until June 28.
