Agenda item

A report of the Director of Markets & Consumer Protection

Members considered a report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection regarding enforcement activity carried out by Smithfield Enforcement Team. Members were advised that current information from the Food Standards Agency on enforcement activity within Smithfield Market was not available.

Members were informed that the Food Standards Agency attendance at Smithfield Markets would be reduced from 75 to 35 a week due to budget pressures. The Smithfield Enforcement Team would be working with tenants and the Food Standards Agency to ensure that the food handling regime would not be compromised as a result.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
