The Fattest Town In Britain:“We Send Kebabs To The Same Address Three Times A Day”
With 80% of residents classed as overweight or obese and takeaways as far as the eye can see in every direction, Ebbw Vale has earned its title as the fattest town in Britain.
The Welsh valleys, once famous for a proud mining history, steelworks and stunning scenery, has seen thousand of jobs losses since those industries were shuttered. Now it’s facing an even bigger issue - people’s expanding waistlines.
Obesity rates in the south Wales area of Blaenau Gwent are the highest in the country. Four out of five people here are overweight or obese, putting an increasing strain on the health service and making it Britain’s fattest Borough.
TalkTV visits the town with the highest percentage of obese people in the country where some of the takeaways are delivering to the same addresses up to three times a day. We speak to local residents about how this is impacting the town and if there’s anything that can be done to reverse the ever-upwardly increasing scales.
