“Oldham Council has prosecuted a takeaway after poor standards of hygiene and a dangerous gas situation were discovered at the premises. During an inspection of Gold Star, on Union Street, in Oldham, on August 7, 2013, an environmental health officer had to call out a utility company following fears of a gas leak. The owners were then forced to call out a gas engineer immediately to fix the hazardous problem.The officer also found the premises to be dirty with thick grease caked on the floor around the fryer – plus an infestation of mouse droppings.”
No mention that Oldham Council Deputy leader & Cabinet Member for Business & Town Centre’s Shoab Akhtar owns a 25% share of these premises, we acknowledge that this does not necessarily mean he had any involvement in the actual food business but he should have monitored any business in these premises making sure they complied with law & legislation if only because of the business locality & his Cabinet position.
