Restaurants should offer free tap water to families eating out rather than waiting for customers to ask for it, says a body representing councils in England and Wales.

They say this would offer a healthy alternative to sugary drinks.

Councils, which have responsibility for public health, want restaurants to do their bit to tackle childhood obesity.

All licensed premises have to provide free tap water in England, Wales and Scotland - but not Northern Ireland.

I think a jug of water should be put on every table when ordering food.
