    we don;t have an ice cream van. we used to but then the school went onto healthy eating thing and we can't have them anymore.
    the litter wasn't a problem, as there were lots of bins

    I never knew they had them outside schools before. I would agree with them being banned from selling outside schools as we are supposed to be encouraging our kids and young people to eat healthy. We have an ice cream van that comes around our street twice a night, and in the main centre of edinburgh there is lots of ice-cream vans and burger vans but the council is trying to stop them trading as it creates a bad example of the city when the tourist are on holiday

    Thanks to Vicky for my great new banner xxx

    No i think that ice cream vans should stay there, as they have been there for years. We all remember the vans from when we young its an great British tradicion why change it

    i suppose i kinda aggree with them being banned from outside school gates but they shouldnt be banned from the streets. ice cream vancs are traditional and i love sitting in the garden in the summer and hearing the music and then i can go and get a lovely ice cream to cool me down on the lovely sunny day - wow this is really making me crave ice cream!

    yes because there is no need for them to be at school gates. no need to ban them altogether though!

    I think that they should be banned because with the growwing number of obece ( sorry I know I will have spelt that wrong!) children they would be getting ice creams and getting even more obese!
