The Introduction of a Public Food Hygiene Rating System for Shropshire
1.1 A scores on the doors scheme for Shropshire that was well organised and managed would provide the Council with a powerful tool to drive up standards in food businesses, reduce incidences of food poisoning and enable the public to make informed choices on where to eat.
1.2 Such a scheme would not place any extra demands on resources on the Public Protection service but would help prioritise resources to those businesses where priority demanded it.
1.3 Such a scheme raised the profile of both Shropshire Council and the Public Protection Service amongst stakeholders and customers.
1.4 The launch of such a scheme supported the Council’s corporate aims and objectives to improving the health and wellbeing of Shropshire’s residents, to build sustainable communities for local people to live and work in Shropshire and promotes economic prosperity.
