Issue - meetings

Members considered the PP&E Portfolio Plan Performance Overview document.

A Member raised a query regarding item 7 on the Plan which related to the number of food premises closed by the Food Safety Team. The commentary on the Plan stated:

‘As of the 08.02.19 there were 66 inspections overdue. All have been allocated for inspection prior to year-end. LBB Food Safety Team have also closed 443 premises this year (80 since the start of February) many of which were overdue and have now stopped trading’

It was felt that the closure figures quoted were rather high and so the Assistant Director for Public Protection agreed to check the figures and report back to the Committee via the Committee Clerk. 

Members noted the data regarding fly-tipping and were informed that a fly-tipping report would be presented to the Environment PDS Committee on 9^th April.

A Member expressed his thanks to Toby Smith and Andrew Rogers for the excellent fly-tipping campaign on Social Media.

RESOLVED that the Assistant Director for Public Protection and Enforcement check the figures relating to food premises closures and report back to the Committee via the Committee Clerk
