The Environmental Health team were today (19 June) successful in obtaining a Hygiene Emergency Prohibition Order (HEPO) from Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court in relation to Fish on the Quay, Church Street, Maldon.
This followed the service on Friday 13th June of a Hygiene Emergency Prohibition Notice (HEPN) due to an active and widespread rat infestation at the site.
Officers moved quickly to ensure that residents and visitors health was protected.
They will now work with the operators to ensure that the necessary measures needed to remove the risk to health are implemented prior to the business re-opening.
Cllr Richard Siddall, Leader of Maldon District Council, said; “Our officers took swift action against this business as soon as it became clear there was an imminent risk to public health.
“It is absolutely vital that food businesses are kept clean and in good repair in line with stringent food safety legislation. A failure to do so could potentially result in terrible consequences for the public and we will always take action against any owners not abiding by these laws.
“Whilst these are incredibly serious offences, we will work with the operator to improve the standards of cleanliness and make sure that they comply food safety standards before they reopen.”
