C2C
Havering Council plans to lobby C2C, a nationalised rail company, regarding unhealthy food advertising on its services.
In July 2025, Havering Council's Health & Wellbeing Board discussed lobbying C2C, a nationalised rail company, to restrict unhealthy food advertising on its trains and platforms. Councillor Gillian Ford, Deputy Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member for Adults and Wellbeing, suggested this during a presentation of the Havering Healthy Weight Strategy 2024-2029.
The strategy aims to address high rates of overweight and obesity in Havering. No further discussions or decisions regarding this lobbying effort have been reported since July 2025. C2C operates services in East London and south Essex, having become a state-owned company in July 2025.
