So far in March, inspectors have visited a fish and chip shop, a mosque, and a golf club here in the borough.
Businesses are rating from zero to five stars, with zero meaning urgent improvement is required, one-star meaning major improvement is necessary, two-stars indicating some improvement is necessary, three meaning hygiene standards are generally satisfactory while four means hygiene standards are good and five means standards are very good.
All the information has come from the Food Standards Agency at: https://www.food.gov.uk/.
