The councilor of the PSOE in the City of Lorca, María Ángeles Mazuecos has requested that the dining service be maintained during the summer period to ensure food and socio-educational reinforcement especially for families in Lorca in situation or at risk of social exclusion, facilitating the reconciliation of family and work life.
Mazuecos has warned that next June 25, the end of this school year, "will be the last day that school canteens will close until September," and therefore, the end of the lunch scholarships.
