A takeaway restaurant has been closed until further notice after its kitchen was found to be dangerously filthy and infested with mice.

Health inspectors visited Ranna in Walthamstow, north-east London, last week after receiving a complaint from a customer.

‘Rather than just a means of punishment, I hope this closure order sets the proprietors on the right course towards improving their health and safety practices permanently and restoring the confidence of their customers as well as the council.’
