Arrangements for Attendance of Children at the Feeding Centres.
Centres are for the most part within short walking distance of the schools from which the
children come. Children, however, are transported by 'bus from Stonebridge area to Lower Place
Feeding Centre and from Neasden area to Strode Road Centre on account of the greater distances
from the schools in these areas to the Centres.
