Businesses in Colchester and Tendring told to improve after poor hygiene ratings
HYGIENE is important to the success of any company that deals with food. Over the last couple of months, there are five businesses in Colchester and Tendring which have received poor ratings after being inspected by the Food Standards Agency (FDA). The FDA inspects a business and then gives it a rating between zero and five, with the latter being the best. The ratings are given on the business's hygiene and safety, structural compliance and confidence in management. The ratings are routinely updated and can change after each inspection. At of time of writing, these are the businesses that have scored the lowest ratings between May to July.

Colchester teen arrested as hoax calls made to two Essex schools
A 15-year-old boy has been arrested after threatening hoax calls were made to two schools. Essex Police said calls were made to schools in Colchester and Tendring on Tuesday afternoon. The force said it "responded swiftly" and worked with the schools "to ensure the safety and wellbeing of pupils and staff". The boy, from Colchester, was arrested on suspicion of making a hoax bomb threat and causing a public nuisance, and remains in police custody for questioning. A police spokesperson said inquiries "soon established the threats were unlikely to be of a credible nature"."At this stage, nothing found during our investigation has indicated that the threats made were in any way viable or likely to be carried out," they added.
