A correspondent writes:

“Readers of this blog may like to know the details of the Health Initiative that the NHS and EDDC have come up with to enrol Cranbrook as one of the ten new healthy towns.

It’s this: “Cranbrook will look at how healthy lifestyles can be taught in schools”

No surprise Simon Jenkins made the comment, in the article quoted in the earlier blog, that the boss of the NHS might have lost the plot.

Makes you wonder how much time and effort went into cooking this one up?

For information the other towns are:

Darlington, Co Durham
Whitehill and Bordon, Hampshire
Whyndyke Farm, Fylde, Lancashire
Halton Lea, Runcorn, Cheshire
Northstowe, Cambridgeshire
Bicester, Oxfordshire
Barton Park, Oxfordshire
Barking Riverside, London
Ebbsfleet Garden City, Kent”
