Another town in the region also saw a huge improvement in its food hygiene rating
Towns and cities have been ranked across the north west for their food hygiene ratings in a report from online training provider High Speed Training. The report said it has analysed Food Standards Agency data for over 215,000 food businesses across the UK.
The coastal town also claimed the top spot in the country for the second consecutive year. Wigan came in as the lowest ranked place in the north west with an average of 3.92, while St Helens improved their rating more than any other town/city in the region, increasing by 0.1 to 4.
Dr Richard Anderson, head of learning and development at High Speed Training said: "Food safety and robust hygiene practices should be of paramount importance to food businesses. Recently, we have seen many high profile cases of food poisoning and illnesses caused by food-borne bacteria. "For businesses that perform well, a high rating is a real selling point. However, establishments with a low hygiene rating can be extremely off-putting for customers, which ultimately have a significant impact on reputation and profitability.
