A CHIP shop owner fined £1,200 after health inspectors found a dead mouse in his takeaway last night blamed Edinburgh’s hated tram works.
Furious Carlo Corolla, 41, claims the digs have disturbed so many colonies of vermin across the city – that his Clifton Fish and Chicken Bar is among scores of businesses hit by the unwelcome visitors.
He said: “It’s the tram works, it forces all the rodents up to the shops here.”
Health inspectors who carried out a spot check on his premises on Clifton Terrace said they found not just dead vermin, but droppings and contaminated food.
