Time to first published rating

49 days median · 66 days average
across 269 newly listed businesses since 2022

Rank 49 of 362 UK authorities (1 = fastest).

Measured from a business appearing in the published FSA dataset to its first rating appearing there. Authorities publish with delays (appeal windows, batch updates), so this reflects the register's speed, not necessarily inspection speed.

Latest published ratings in Boston

New inspection results as they appear on the register, most recent first. Ratings are published with a delay, so these are publication dates, not inspection dates.
