Mehdi kebab van pair hear their fate
11:40am Monday 21st January 2013 in News
A pair whose kebab van failed a hygiene inspection despite a warning will learn their fate today.
Brother and sister Mehdi and Wadeya Karrouchi, who run Mehdi’s in High Street, were warned in October they were in “the last chance saloon”. But an inspection the next month revealed several issues.
The city council’s licensing and registration committee will meet at 5pm at the Town Hall to decide upon their licence.

Why are these procedures so protracted? If the hygiene standards are not met withdraw the licence immediately and remove the health risk to the public.

They have had every warning, and if they get another one, it just shows that the council are toothless. Or pick and choose who they will ban or not.

I had no idea Health & Safety rules were so popular among the OM posting community.
If you are happy to risk a potentially serious illness that is your prerogative.

Nonetheless I find this interest in health & safety rather puzzling given the usual vitriol heaped on the authorities when prosecuting people for exceeding driving hours, not having the right fire exits, allowing smoking etc.
