That this Council establish a working group to consider the growing problem of obesity within our County.  That such a working group would be made up of representatives from across a wide variety of stakeholders - schools, planners, elected members, management, with input from Social & Community SPC, Parks, Libraries, sporting bodies, this list is but an example of the agencies whose participation and involved is essential to its success and is therefore not exhaustive. As part of working group the involvement of schools could be achieved through the Parents’ Associations and perhaps the libraries in our County could host cookery demonstrations during Health & Wellbeing week. Another possible idea might be to extend the “social credit” scheme to children who walk/cycle to school or perhaps participate in a new/additional sport.
