Minutes:
The Cabinet Member Customer and Regulatory Services presented the report, noting that it was an annual statutory obligation rather than a sudden area of concern. He praised the resilience of the Food Safety team during the pandemic, and thanked the businesses who had co-operated with officers and shown a real commitment to high standards of food safety and environmental health. Cheltenham’s wide variety of restaurants and hotels were a big part of its appeal, and the increase in registered food businesses from 969 a year ago to 1,025 today was a sign that the economic recovery was in progress.
The Leader added that it was important to have such a plan, and it was hugely encouraging to see an increase in the number of food businesses in the last year.
The Leader moved to the vote, where it was unanimously:
RESOLVED THAT:
1. The appended service plan for 2021-22 be approved.
