2019 annual report from Croydon’s director of public health
Rachel Flower’s latest report is all about food in Croydon. It focuses on tackling obesity, eliminating food poverty and reducing waste by making good food accessible to all.
Ms Flowers makes a series of recommendations to the government, business and residents to help reduce health inequalities.
Her report also celebrates some of the council’s Food Smart campaign projects and initiatives in the borough that are already successfully improving residents’ relationship with food, supporting people to feed themselves and their families with nutritious meals and reducing holiday hunger.
