Issue - meetings

‘Challenge 25’ had been rag rated as red because one business had failed a test and sold a product to a minor. Robust action was being taken in this case. The matter of food safety inspections was also still rag rated as red but the Committee was reminded that this was a national issue and that the Food Standards Agency was happy with the progress that the Council was making in terms of addressing backlogs.

A discussion took place regarding review hearings and different types of suspension with respect of premises that sold restricted products to minors.

RESOLVED that the Performance Overview update be noted.
