Make a sugary drinks tax in Horsham west sussex
Hello we are three year 10 students taking GCSE citizenship that are aiming to put a tax on sugary drinks in Horsham.Taking in too much sugar can have devastating impacts on your body such as diabetes, obesity and heart disease. We believe putting a tax on sugary drinking would reduce this.
The saved money would go partly to the Children's health fund and it could also go to the NHS to spend on more important heath issues such as cancers
