The council was quick to turn down the proposal, saying it was important to support the local farming community and county food businesses.
The suggestion was put forward at a meeting of the full council on Thursday, through a public question submitted by Dr Natasha Harlow.
“This awareness needs to include every aspect of council activities, including the provision of food. She asked Shropshire Council to follow this lead, adding that even if it would only apply to a small number of events per year “it will be a small step that sends a powerful message”. She further argued that meat and dairy products are often more expensive than vegan alternatives, saying the council would also be encouraging residents to save money on their own food bills by choosing more plant-based options.
