One of the changes of the past few years which might actually be positive is the decision to allocate public health spending as a local government responsibility. In principle, this could lead to a more responsive and prevention led approach to public health. In practice, the funding was shortly after cynically cut.
One area where it would be used to good effect would be through the increased use of drinking fountains, which in turn would cut plastic use. If Brent Council were under more imaginative leadership it would examine this idea.
