Glasgow obesity concerns as 140 new fast-food takeaways open up in city since 2015

The number of takeaways in Glasgow has skyrocketed in the past few years, sparking concerns by anti-obesity campaigners.

The unhealthy climb saw 25 new takeaways and mobile foods open in the city in the past year, taking the total number to 635 according to Office for National Statistics (ONS) estimates.

That represents a 4.1 per cent increase from 2021 and also represents a huge increase of 28 per cent from the 495 takeaways and mobile foods that could be found in the city in 2015 - the earliest year with comparable figures.
