Thousands use City Council eatery web resource
Since the launch of the Scores on Doors web page on Monday 11
June the web site has received 22,000 hits in two weeks with people
checking out Carlisle's eatery's online.
The website contains useful advice for the public and businesses
alike. It means that food retailers and caterers inspected by
Environmental Health Officers are given a star rating based on how
well they perform in terms of hygiene, structural condition and
overall attitude to complying with the law.
Information about 245 Carlisle businesses went live, available
for the public to view on the web at www.scoresonthedoors.org.uk
or via Carlisle City Council website www.carlisle.gov.uk Information
about additional businesses will be added on a regular basis as
they are inspected.
Deputy City Council Leader and portfolio holder for Environment
and Infrastructure Cllr Ray Bloxham said:
The aim of the web advice is to bring about an
improvement in food hygiene standards in the City and also to give
the public a more informed choice about where to eat based on food
safety. Scores on the Doors is a quick way for people to find out
at a glance how hygienic and well-managed their favourite
take-aways, pubs, restaurants and food shops are compared to others
in the district and the fact that the site has had 22,000 hits in
two weeks is significant.
