Re: Petition P-05-865 Guarantee fully plant-based options on every public sector menu to protect the rights of vegans and for our health, the environment and animals
Thank you for your letter of 2nd August in relation to the above noted petition.
Please find below my response in regard to this.
Within Monmouthshire Primary schools we offer a choice of Vegan and Vegetarian meals daily along with menu’s suitable for all other dietary needs (dairy free, gluten free etc).
‘Mardy Park Resource Centre’ offers Vegan and Vegetarian meals daily in the cafeteria that can be used for the residential unit. They operate a “meat free Monday” service for all users on a Monday and will prepare a Vegan and Vegetarian menu for any service user on request. They will also prepare a meal for any service user that has specific dietary needs.
