Mostly agree. Removal of harmful food stuffs can be achieved to an extent but 'Free Will and Choice' cannot be taken away from the public. It should read "support those with serious health risks that will benefit quality of life within the community". Resisting hot food takeaways is pointing the finger at overweight individuals and/or risks to healthy individuals. The same, if not greater risks are those from newsagents and off-licences selling cigarettes and alcohol, which are taxable entities and obviously don't impact on communities as much as fast food.
Agree with retention and protection of open spaces.
