More than £27,000 worth of school dinner debt should be written off by West Dunbartonshire Council according to a local MSP.
Green member for the West of Scotland Ross Greer made the calls, as he said pursuing the debt during a time where finances are squeezed is causing stress and embarrassment for staff and pupils.
A Freedom of Information Request submitted by the Scottish Greens has found that children and families in West Dunbartonshire owe a total of £27,889.15 to West Dunbartonshire Council, with the national figure now over one million pounds.
