The Food Safety Service Plan was an annual plan required by the Food Standards Agency (FSA), stating the Council’s current processes and highlighting the increase in work as the number of food service establishments in the district has grown.  The Service Plan demonstrated links to the corporate objectives as the Council supported local businesses with their legal compliance requirements, and all the proposed actions were within budget.  Members commended the successful Scores on the Doors programme, which was being adopted by other authorities, and the Corporate Manager, Health and Environmental Services, explained that the staff member who led the project had been invited to World Health Organisation meetings in Brussels and Sri Lanka as Chairman of the national user group.
