A Yorkshire council has voted to approve a new plant-based catering policy, in an effort to fight climate change.

Calderdale Council voted to adopt the new policy to remove meat and dairy from future council meetings and catered events at the full council meeting on Wednesday night (24 July).

It follows a proposal last month which recommended the move after the council’s cabinet unanimously backed the move, which was formally proposed by deputy leader Coun Scott Patient.

The proposal will also see the council promote plant-based diets as part of its planned Food Strategy.
