Mr. Whippy to be kept away from children
 
  
 
  
 
  Under an amendment to the Education and Inspection
Bill to be put forward this week, local authorities
will be given new powers to stop ice-cream vans
from operating near school gates. The move comes as
operators claim that they are already being forced out
of business by an over-zealous health lobby. 
 
  Local authorities have in recent weeks banned
ice-cream vans from using pay-and-display parking
spaces and set up “ice-cream-free”exclusion zones
around busy shopping streets. Newham council, in
east London, informed vendors last month that it would
fine van owners up to £80 if they used pay-and-display
bays. Greenwich council, in southeast London, has
banned the vans from its streets altogether, while in
Scotland, West Dunbartonshire council has introduced
an exclusion zone around schools for vans.
