英 학교 주변 패스트푸드점 개업 금지령
□ 학교 근처 수백개 테이크아웃 점 신규 개업 금지
- 영국 지방 의회는 청소년 비만 줄이기 노력의 일환으로 학생들이 불량식품을 멀리하고 건강에 이로운 학교 급식을 장려하기 위해 새로운 규정 제정
- 학생의 건강과 웰빙을 위해 올해 여름부터 법제화 된 이후 추가된 내용
□ 내용
- 런던 동부 타워햄릿구에서 중등학교로부터 500야드 이내의 특정 패스트푸드 점의 개점을 허락한 것에 대해 법에 저촉된다는 결정이 내려짐
- 런던 동부 월썸포레스트구는 2009년 최초로 학교, 레저 센터, 공원에서부터 400미터 내의 패스트푸드점의 개업을 금지함
- 이후 수십개의 지역 의회가 이와 같은 규정을 적용하고 있음
□ 반응
- 학교 음식 개선 활동가들은 이와 같은 움직임을 환영함
- 학교 음식 연합(School Food Trust)은 중등학교가 평균 23개에서 46개까지 패스트푸드점으로 둘러쌓인 현재, 신규 개업 금지가 효과를 드러나는데 오랜 시간이 걸릴 것으로 우려

Takeaways to be banned from vicinity of hundreds of schools after landmark ruling
Takeaways are to be banned near hundreds of schools in a new drive to curb teenage obesity.
Councils across the country are rewriting planning rules to stop junk food outlets operating next to schools and tempting children away from revamped healthier canteen meals.
The measures follow a legal ruling this summer which clarified that councils can take into account the health and well-being of schoolchildren when considering planning applications from takeaway outlets.
A judge ruled that Tower Hamlets Council in East London ‘acted unlawfully’ when it allowed ‘Fried & Fabulous’ to open just 500 yards from a secondary school.
Studies have previously shown how junk food outlets cynically target pupils with child prices and multi-buy deals, while promotions on products such as pies and pizza slices drastically undercut prices available in school kitchens.
Waltham Forest Council, also in East London, last year became the first local authority in the country to ban fast food outlets from opening within a 400-metre ‘exclusion zone’ around schools, leisure centres and parks.
Now dozens of other local authorities are adopting similar policies, a poll of councils reveals.
More than half of 50 councils in the survey had already revised their planning policies or were in the process of looking at them again.
Barking and Dagenham has brought in supplementary planning rules which include a hot food takeaway exclusion zone set at 400 metres from secondary and primary schools.
