    The owner of a Fish and Chip shop in Fleetwood has admitted 8 Food Hygiene offences in court.

    68-year-old Ronnie Brambles who owns The Eating Plaice on Lord Street, was reported to officers by a customer who said she saw a mouse running across the floor.
    Brambles admitted eight Food Hygiene Act offences when he appeared before Blackpool Magistrates.
    He was fined a total of £900 and ordered to pay £1,831 costs.
    Mary Grimshaw,prosecuting for Wyre Borough Council,said an inspection revealed an extensive mouse infestation in the main serving area and preparation rooms.
    A container of batter was covered with a dirty teacloth and raw fish had been left in a dirty sink.
    The health officers also found evidence that staff had been smoking on the premises which also smelled because of an open drain pipe.
    The prosecutor said:”Ther was a lack of basic hygiene or records and the fish and chip was voluntarily closed for thirteen days until work was done to make it no longer constituted a danger to public health.”
    “The premises have had a poor hygiene record over the years.”
    During a formal interview Brambles of Arndale Close,Fleetwood said he accepted the blame for a deterioration in standards and his wife had been unable to assist him because of illness.
    Trevor Colebourne ,defending,said the mouse infestation had been caused by a built up of fly tipped rubbish at the rear of the property.
    He said:”There has been a mountain of rubbish including dead animals.”
    “There were mice there-everywhere.”
    “He did make attempts to remedy the problem but accepts he did not act with the alacrity required.”
    “He brought in a professional company to help called Death to Pest and at one stage they had 22 mouse traps around the premises such was the number of mice.”
    The defence lawyer said his client’s turnover had dropped from £131,000a year to £104,000 and Brambles had sold his other fish and chip shop.
