Edinburgh primary pupils have gone without hot meals for six months while their school kitchen is revamped, it has emerged, after the discovery of asbestos caused huge delays.
Local councillor Sanne Dijkstra-Downie said youngsters at Trinity Primary are "fed up of eating the same sandwich lunch for months on end," adding some children "have stopped eating school lunches altogether".
Edinburgh City Council confirmed hot lunches will resume for pupils next month with a "large welcome back party" planned.
