Blackburn with Darwen gets £300,000 to tackle child obesity
Blackburn with Darwen is one of five areas of the country to receive a share of £1.5m government funding to tackle childhood obesity.
The council will get £100,000-a-year over three years to help it work with takeaways and restaurants to sell healthier food.
The plan will be to offer health, food and nutrition apprenticeships to teenagers aged 15 to 19.
Other areas benefiting from the cash include Bradford, Nottinghamshire, Lewisham and Birmingham.
