Remove the sugary snacks from vending machines in children sport centres
If I take my children to swimming pool or a gymnastic class is because I want them to be healthy and not have them see just in front of them high sugar snacks that are many times present in the reception/waiting area. What is going to be: the big tantrum for a no sugar or the sugary treat.
Many leisure centres have vending machines full of snacks high in sugar in the reception/waiting area. The NHS strongly suggests us to reduce sugar for our children. I strongly believe that is not right to put sugar in front of a tired child and have to tell them that you shouldn't have it. One in four children in the UK is overwight.

This would be the responsibility of the management of individual leisure centres, not the Government or Parliament.
