Real nappy vouchers and better Sure Start vouchers
Provide vouchers for parents to afford reusable washable nappies (£40 - available only in some boroughs), and better Sure Start vouchers (currently only £3.10 a week). Washable nappies are better for the environment than disposable and save hundreds of pounds in the long term; £3.10 per week is not enough to provide sufficient nourishment for a pregnant mother or parents and a young baby - £10 per week should be a minimum.
Why is this important?
For parents to provide for young babies and to take pressure off during an important time of the babies growth. For the environment, so council rubbish dumps have less problems with sanitary waste. To lead the way in family provisioning from the Local government.
