The Property Manager reported that provision had been made inthe Capital Programme to provide a disabled cubicle. This wasoriginally intended to be provided by way of an extension on thefront elevation.

This was included tocover the original proposal to provide an extension at the front.It was estimated that the basement option for the disabled cubiclewould cost approximately £20,000.

Although such schemes have only been set up andrunning in recent years anecdotal evidence quickly suggested theyhad a positive impact on the food safety standards of premiseswithin the particular local authorities district. An interim reportby Northumbria University (October 2007), who were tasked withevaluating the impact and effectiveness of ‘Scores on the Doors’,was backing this opinion.

- It encouraged food business to be proactive in driving up foodhygiene/safety standards
- It enabled the majority of Freedom of Information requests tobe dealt with by directing the enquiry to the website
- It promoted consumer choice with customer and peer pressureacting as an incentive for food business to drive up standards
Resolved
