The council also prosecuted the establishment for failing to train its staff in proper food hygiene practices. Councillor Andrew McHugh, Lead Member for Health and Wellbeing, said: “Local people want to know that if they order food for takeaway or home delivery, it has been safely and hygienically prepared. “To provide that confidence, we need to be making sure businesses have the information they need to follow the law and to be carrying out enforcement if they fall short. The gravity of these offences and the sheer level of pest activity meant that it was vital for us to take this case to court.
