Not known, clear with picture desk The iconic Coca-Cola Christmas truck tour should be banned, health chiefs have said

Duncan Selbie, chief executive of Public Health England (PHE), said local authorities which are allowing the signature red truck to stop in their towns and cities should "reflect on whether it's in the best interests of the health of local children and families".

The drinks giant's UK truck tour is now in its seventh year, visiting 42 locations.

It started on November 11 in Glasgow and will end in Lakeside, Essex, on December 17.

PHE said Coca-Cola is visiting some of the country's "tooth decay and obesity hot spots" during the tour – at a time when one in five kids across the UK are obese or overweight.
