NOTICE OF REVOCATION

REVOCATION OF DIRECTION (PREMISES)

THE HEALTH PROTECTION (CORONAVIRUS, RESTRICTIONS)

(ENGLAND) (NO. 3) REGULATIONS 2020 (No.2020/750)

 

TAKE NOTICE that Sefton Metropolitan Borough  Council in exercise of the powers conferred by regulation 2 (3) (a) of the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) (No. 3) Regulations 2020 HEREBY REVOKES the Direction (reference number – FT/SKINKERR  ) dated 2 October 2020 given in relation to the Premises Skin Kerr, 52  Aintree Road, Bootle , L20 9DN.

Dated 7 October 2020

 

UPDATE: 08 OCTOBER 2020

Sefton Council’s Environmental Health officers have been working with the owner of a Bootle business, closed for not implementing the required precautions to protect staff and customers against COVID-19, to enable it to re-open again safely.

Last week the Council issued a Closure Notice to the owner of Skin Kerr in Bootle after visits to the premises by the Council’s Environmental Health team raised concerns that current restrictions and public health guidance were not being adhered to, meaning customers and staff were being put at risk from infection by COVID-19.

After meetings described as ‘productive’, Council officers were assured that the owner is willing to comply with the regulations and put the required measures in place. This means that the imminent threat of infection has been removed.

Under a new Direction Order, the business can re-open and trade provided the conditions agreed remain in place. Ongoing inspections will be carried out and any breach of the Direction Order’s requirements would result in the business being ordered to close again.

Cllr Paulette Lappin, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Regulatory, Compliance and Corporate Services, said: “I am pleased that our Environmental Health team has been able to work constructively with the owner of this Bootle business to put the measures in place that enable it to re-open.

“As we have made clear, Sefton Council will not hesitate to take action against businesses refusing to put in place measures to keep staff and customers safe, but equally we will do all we can to work with them to resolve the issues and enable them start trading again.

“The vast majority of our local businesses have been doing their utmost to meet their legal duty of ensuring they are COVID-secure and since the start of the pandemic in March we have been providing advice and support.

“We appreciate the efforts and sacrifices they have made and would encourage them to get in touch if they are struggling to meet the requirements.”
