I am seeking data on convenience stores and supermarkets found in breach by trading standards of the latest phase of the single use plastics ban introduced on 1 October 2023.
1) The number of businesses who were found in breach between its implementation on 1 October 2023 and 31 March 2024
The key search terms I am seeking in relation to the type of business are; convenience store, corner shop, grocery store, supermarket, newsagent, symbol group, tobacconist, off licence and independent retailer.
2) The items they were found in breach of selling; single-use plastic plates, trays, bowls, balloon sticks, cutlery and polystyrene cups/food containers.
3) The punishment or penalty for the breach.
Ideally, I would like these figures broken down month-on-month.
