Plans to bring the line back came under threat when the Labour government announced

For some, it's a meal that will help make ends meet; for others an opportunity to socialise rather than feeling lonely.Every Thursday evening at the Tolladine Hub community centre, the meals are cooked with food from supermarkets that would otherwise have gone to waste.

"I work three jobs and still struggle," said one mum who frequents the hub."A lot of parents that work, have the same struggles as those on benefits, this should be available for everybody."She added that the scheme didn't discriminate by saying "I'm sorry, but you work so you can't come", adding that it was for everybody to "feel welcome and have a nice meal".

FoodCycle regional manager Pablo Allan said it was a three-course meal, free and "no questions asked", for about 40 guests - but which also helps save the planet.The charity said it runs 12 similar community events in the Midlands each week.

Another charity provides food from supermarkets, shops and others suppliers, with the produce often on or near an expiry date.

Mr Allan said: "We provide a nutritious, healthy meal - and we're also creating a safe space for people to socialize, connect, and hopefully build resilient communities.The panel heard allegations Mr Davies referred to a colleague as "the sexy one" and that Supt Davies was overheard talking about the "shapely figures" of female staff.

On Tuesday, the officer accepted he "made inappropriate comments from time to time".Asked about allegations he compared female colleagues to luxury cars such as Rolls Royce, Supt Davies told the panel this was based on "quality and reliability", adding "I don't see a Rolls Royce car as something sexual".

On Monday, Supt Davies told the panel he wanted to be a police officer "from a young age", joining the force in 2002 and getting promoted to superintendent in 2019.He said he was "devastated" to be served misconduct papers in 2022, causing him to become "emotionally unstable" and leading to the breakdown of his marriage.
