Conclusion
On a local level, some local authorities are working hard to improve their own food environment through bans to outdoor advertising, but they are severely limited due to only being able to target council-owned assets. To ensure a consistent approach, to address the fact that areas of higher deprivation have a higher prevalence of outdoor advertising and to protect local councils from challenge from large food businesses, a national approach is needed.
