Abstract
The health, social and planning policy agendas which have focused on the issue of food deserts, food access and food choice provide the context for this study of the outcomes of a large-scale food retail intervention in Springburn, Glasgow. An analysis of changing retail structure and foodscape health impacts on food provision, food choice and physical and economic accessibility is presented. This is set within the regeneration context of the Tesco St Rollox Partnership. Conclusions are reached on the potential for such schemes to deliver a range of diet, health, social, regeneration and planning policy goals.Keywords
