What holds ratings back here

Look at the officer's three scores for the 276 shops under a 5: premises (85.9%), handling (57.6%) and records/management (63.4%) were the weak spots. Full spread: 5: 244, 4: 120, 3: 130, 2: 18, 1: 8, 0: 0. Some results are stale, with 0.8% older than three years and 7.1% older than two. A re-rating visit can be requested from Durham once improvements are made; a fee may apply and the score could fall.
