Our team is now a WHO Collaborating Centre for the Promotion of Healthy & Sustainable Diets. Which is pretty cool (well, I think it is anyway).

New @jessicarenzella.bsky.social! Workshops w/Newham residents to identify ways to improve diets “…although the implementation of interventions in different areas may require tailoring, the focus of interventions to tackle the determinants of unhealthy diets could be similar across neighbourhoods.”

Another new Research Associate post available working on our new UKRI research hub! This post is at Strathclyde with the excellent @profkatsmith.bsky.social and @e-c-hill.bsky.social

Copy of paragraph 97 from the national planning policy framework. It reads: Local planning authorities should refuse applications for hot food takeaways and fast food outlets: a) within walking distance of schools and other places where children and young people congregate, unless the location is within a designated town centre; or b) in locations where there is evidence that a concentration of such uses is having an adverse impact on local health, pollution or anti-social-behaviour

Out just now, this is now explicit guidance in the National Planning Policy Framework!

This will be a huge help for councils wanting to create healthy places, reducing the scope for costly legal challenges from fast food companies. #HealthyPlaceShaping
