A Cannock based food business trading as Mr Kay’s, and its Director Mr Raja Kamran Hussain have been ordered to pay £34,603 in fines and costs following a successful prosecution by Cannock Chase Council.

Mr. Hussain previously appeared at Cannock Magistrate’s Court on 6 February 2023 and both he and his company pleaded guilty to five offences under the Food Safety and Hygiene (England) Regulations 2013, including failing to prevent access by pests to the premises.

A new programme called Cannock Chase Discovery has been launched to help residents access tailored support to improve their general and life skills leading to better employment opportunities. The programme offers a range of interventions across four broad categories: work, skills, health, and life. It is being delivered by Jobs 22 on behalf of Cannock Chase Council and funded by the Government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF).

The programme began on 1 May 2024 and will run until 31 March 2025.

The Cannock Chase Heritage Trail has been brought to life using animation and audio with the launch of two new digital trails - Chase Tales and Hear Our Heritage.
