| Melanie Onn - backing football star's campaign |
GRIMSBY'S former Labour MP has appealed to Conservative North East Lincolnshire Council to offer free lunches for needy children during half-term.
She has sent NELC a message urging them to match what is being done by Labour-controlled councils such as those in Doncaster and Sheffield in response to a high-profile campaign launched by England and Manchester United footballer Marcus Rashford.
To date, NELC has received more than £11-million in grants from Whitehall, but it is not known how much has been channelled specifically into staving off the hunger pangs of children from impoverished children.
The authority has so far not made any comment on the free meals controversy.
