Jamie Driscoll pledges to ban junk food advertising on public transport
NORTH of Tyne Mayor Jamie Driscoll has pledged to ban junk food advertising on public transport across the north-east if he is re-elected this week.
Mr Driscoll, running for the newly created regional mayoralty of the wider north-east as an independent after being barred from standing for Labour, follows London Mayor Sadiq Khan in ordering the ban.
The move was prompted by an exchange on social media with celebrity chef and food campaigner Jamie Oliver.
