Council raises hygiene concerns at prison

Food hygiene officials from Liverpool Council have recommended improvements be made after an inspection at a prison.

Concerns have been raised by the local authority, in conjunction with the Food Standards Agency, after a visit to HMP Altcourse on Brookfield Drive, Fazakerley, last month. A brief report released by the Food Standards Agency said improvement was required around the cleanliness and condition of the facilities and building at the prison.

HMP Altcourse is operated by G4S and was the first privately designed, constructed, financed and managed in the UK. The facility, which can hold more than 1,000 prisoners, opened in 1997.
