This is the list of documents available for the submission By Councillor Thomas Kerr:- "Council notes the impact of a poor diet on health outcomes as well as the relationship between health and income inequality in the city - with residents from the least deprived areas of Glasgow expected to live up to 15 years longer than those from deprived communities. Council welcomes the research conducted by the University of Glasgow which demonstrates the existence of 'clusters' of alcohol, fast food, tobacco, and gambling outlets in the city and their propensity to co-locate in the most deprived areas of Glasgow. Council notes the advice of the Scottish Government expressed within the report 'A Healthier Future - Scotland's Diet and Healthy Weight Delivery Plan' concerning diet-related health inequalities where it states: "It is crucial too that our stakeholders and delivery partners place a special emphasis on reducing inequalities when planning, designing and delivering interventions… We want the places and spaces where people live to support them to lead healthy lives. The area around schools is an environment where we want to make a positive change in the habits of young people at lunchtimes and on the way to and from school. One possible lever available to us is planning policy." Council further notes the Scottish Conservatives' report which was launched by Brian Whittle MSP titled "Healthy Lifestyle Strategy" which includes plans to trial programmes that make fresh fruit and vegetables more widely available in deprived areas and encourages schools to provide a broader menu of healthy on-site options. Council therefore instructs officers to bring a report to the Wellbeing, Empowerment, Community and Citizen Engagement City Policy Committee within the next six months detailing how best we can use this council's planning and licensing policies to improve the health choices of all Glaswegians, especially those from deprived communities, by reducing the overprovision of fast food takeaways on our high streets and around our schools.
