Grim images show mouse droppings and cockroaches that were found in a filthy Merseyside takeaway.
Saffron Indian Takeaway, based on Borough Road in Birkenhead, was forced to close after Wirral Council’s Environmental Health team visited on February 2 for a routine hygiene inspection and found evidence of pests there.
On February 8, Wirral Magistrates Court granted Wirral Council’s request for an emergency order to keep the takeaway closed, though this will be under review by the local authority. The business is currently not trading.
