Report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection.

The Committee received a report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection regarding the progress made during period one against the key performance indicators and objectives outlined in the Port Health and Public Protection division’s 2015-18 Business Plan.

Members were advised of the recent successfully completed prosecutions related to Operation Broadway and an upcoming survey of premises displaying Food Hygiene Rating Scheme stickers, the results of which would be reported to the Committee.

In response to a Member’s question, the Director of Port Health and Public Protection advised that un-licensed nut-sellers had been recorded on the Millennium, Southwark, and London Bridges. The Comptroller and City Solicitor added that a nut-seller had been recently fine £500 for operating on London Bridge.

Members noted that the Departmental risk relating to air quality should be considered a corporate, strategic risk for the City of London Corporation as a whole. A Member suggested that air quality had already been added as a corporate risk at a recent meeting of the Audit and Risk Management Committee; this would be confirmed to Members after the meeting.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
