'Dirty' takeaway with food on the floor was shut twice in a year

Food inspectors have shared pictures from inside a “dirty” takeaway that has been closed down twice in about eight months.

Runcorn Kebab House on High Street in Runcorn was deemed an “imminent risk of injury to health” following a visit from Halton Borough Council’s food hygiene officers. The ECHO reported on Tuesday how a Halton Borough Council environmental health officers secured a Food Hygiene Emergency Prohibition Order at North Cheshire Magistrates’ Court in Warrington on Friday to close the fast food outlet once again.

It was previously shut in November due to an “unsafe and illegal gas installation” and “inadequate cleaning and handwashing facilities”, and allowed to reopen after making improvements. A Halton Council spokeswoman said Friday's closure order followed a routine inspection on July 5, which uncovered a range of “serious food hygiene breaches”.
