Ideas were also put forward for Mexican or Thai restaurants.

Meanwhile Richard Wilkinson stated he would like to see a free restaurant open to help the homeless.

He said: “How about a free restaurant for the homeless to go and eat using perfectly good food that is being thrown away/donated by Sainsburys/tescoes etc that is still ok to be eaten and you can also teach them cooking skills so when they get a place like young people who are homeless it will help them for life.”
