A council in south Wales will go ahead with its plan to ban unhealthy food adverts in certain public spaces.
Vale of Glamorgan Council will become the first local authority in Wales to implement the ban.
It will also stop unhealthy foods from being marketed on the council's website.
Council leader Lis Burnett denied the local authority was telling people what to do through the ban.


Vale of Glamorgan councillor Rhiannon Birch said many people were not aware of the unhealthy content of the food they were eating.
"We want to see that those people are better informed, better able to make choices and are not having these adverts thrown at them all the time," she added.
Councillor Ruba Sivagnanam said the policy would help the council to deliver on "objectives around health inequalities".
"We as a council have a values driven corporate plan. I think this is a demonstration of our values in action."
The rules were proposed in a consultation last year and mirror those introduced in England in 2022.
