Wolverhampton City Council has joined the chorus of local authorities to continue free school meals for struggling families over the holidays.
Council leader Ian Brookfield said the move would "ensure 16,000 Wolverhampton children in low income households don't go hungry this half term".
A motion to extend free school meals over holidays during the coronavirus pandemic - championed by footballer Marcus Rashford - was rejected by MPs in a vote on Wednesday.
A number of councils across the country, including Birmingham and Telford and Wrekin have made the decision to step in themselves to support children and their families over the holidays.
Birmingham City Council has announced it will run out of graves at one of its cemeteries within a fortnight, partially due to the pressures of Covid-19.
The local authority said it had just 15 Muslim graves available at Handsworth Cemetery and fewer than 70 for other religions.
“The impact of Covid-19 has meant that burial space at Handsworth Cemetery has been used at a faster rate than we would have previously anticipated," Councillor Sharon Thompson, cabinet member for homes and neighbourhoods, said.
However, the council said it had also made improvements to a cemetery at Sutton New Hall, which it said had been designed with "extensive flood lighting available which means burials can continue to take place with greater flexibility during the darker winter months".
