Fife Council’s officers have been tasked with implementing the government’s much touted vaccine passport system without any practical guidance on what is and isn’t legal.
Conservative Councillor Richard Watt hit out at what he believes is another SNP Scandal:
“As it stands nightclubs have no clear guidance other than they need to write a plan and it might be checked. The council’s restaurant inspectors are required to review these plans and take enforcement action for non compliance.”
The council’s Environmental Health Officers don’t work at 1am on Saturdays, and the Scottish Government has not provided funding for overtime or the extra work involved in policing new restrictions.
The Kirkcaldy East Councillor continued:
“This is a badly thought out, unfunded mess. Venues need only claim they checked a sample of patrons and will almost certainly not be checked on this. Fife Council has neither the human nor financial resources to enforce Nicola’s newest half-baked failure.”
The Government previous delayed implementation of the much-maligned CoViD Passport System due to lack of planning for IT issues.
