The change we are trying to influence
- Embed good food and movement into the design of our places, spaces and buildings
- Increase availability, quality and use of healthy travel (walking, wheeling, cycling, public transport)
- Inclusive and safe parks and open spaces which enable people to be active
- Improve outdoor public spaces for play and access to good food in Butetown, Grangetown and Riverside
- Maximise community assets including schools, leisure centres, pitches, parks, changing rooms and community centres
- Improve access to good food
- Improve availability of good food
- Reduce unhealthy food and drink advertising
-
The Vale of Glamorgan Council is proud to have been the first local authority in Wales to prohibit the advertising of unhealthy food and drink across all spaces it manages. Reducing the visibility and influence of unhealthy advertising in public spaces is another step towards a creating healthier food environment reducing health inequalities for the whole region.
