FAST food vans are set to deliver fresh and healthy snacks to youngsters at West Fife high schools.

Fife Council hope their 'Smash It' vans will encourage school pupils to choose a healthy option at lunch rather than fast food from local shops and takeaways.

Hot and cold finger food, sandwiches, soup and drinks will be on offer at Queen Anne High School, St Columba's HS and Woodmill HS.

The move has been welcomed by Cllr Fay Sinclair, who said: "We are keen to do everything we can to help our young people make healthy choices.

"We know that many of them choose not to stay in school at lunchtime so we had to look at other ways to provide them with a healthy meal outwith the school environment. These vans seem to offer the solution."

Keith Breasley, service manager, added: "Not all pupils want to spend their lunchtime in school and by offering food to go in this manner we are ensuring those who want a break from the school environment can do so yet still take advantage of the nutritious food on offer from the school catering service."
