Rossendale MP backs school milk campaign

10:10am Friday 28th September 2012 in News

ROSSENDALE’S MP will hand out milk to nursery children next week as part of World School Milk Day celebrations.

Jake Berry will visit Maden Early Years Nursery in Rochdale Road, Bacup, on Friday, October 5.

World Milk Day, which took place on Wednesday, encourages children to drink milk and aims to educate them about the benefits of milk.

School milk is free for children in day care or primary education under the age of five, and subsidised for school students aged five to 11.

John Sedgwick, managing director for Cool Milk, said: “Milk in schools continues to be incredibly popular and hugely successful in contributing to the healthy development of all children, but especially where children are struggling to get their daily nutrients.”

How could a Tory have the cheek to take part in a school milk campaign. Maggie took it away or does Jake not remember

I am sure Mr Berry will claim suitable expenses for his trip to Bacup next Friday! Bearing in mind the lack of investment in Rossendale, the huge amount of empty shops, the boarded up pubs, the lack of transport links, the large amount of unemployed and the huge amount of those in employment on minimum wage. It is really nice to know that he is doing his best and letting us know what a great job he has.
