Suffolk Council defies vegan trend and passes motion to support farmers

Suffolk County Council has become the third council to defy the vegan trend seen across the UK and instead show its support for livestock farmers.

The council passed a motion on Thursday (19 October) to 'always' provide locally sourced meat and dairy options, alongside plant-based options, at its catered events.

The local authority has become the third in a matter of months to defy the vegan trend, after Cornwall and North Northamptonshire councils voted to keep meat and dairy.
