A Local Authority Declaration on Healthy Weight has been designed
and developed by Food Active, a project funded by the North West
Directors of the Public Health. The Declaration sets outs why
tackling obesity is important and a number of pledges which local
authorities can make to address obesity. For example this includes
ensuring catering provision in Council buildings is healthy and
considering how commercial partnerships with the food and drink
industry may impact upon messages to the local community.
Cabinet approval is sought to adopt the Declaration on healthy
weight to form the basis of a cross cutting approach to tackle
obesity in Sefton.
