A POULTRY slaughterhouse in Rubery shut its doors to business after being given the chop by the district council. When the council discovered the Beacon Hill chicken farm was operating a slaughter factory without permission an enforcement notice was served. Deputy district council secretary Mr R Lewis said the farm was owned by the Halal Meat Company and was originally used for rearing chickens. But it had started buying chickens from other premises and killing them for retail.
