The two other newly registered premises were smaller
buildings adapted for use as cowsheds, the necessary repairs and
alterations being carried out. In both cases the cows are kept
primarily for the occupiers' own use.
The three sheds not at present in occupation may be utilised
at any time, cowkeeping being only temporarily discontinued. In
one other case the cows are removed to farms in the country during
the summer months, the registered shed being in use only during
the winter months.
During the year 22 dairymen and milk purveyors have been
removed from the register on account of the business being discontinued
or transferred, and 32 dairymen and milk purveyors (mostly
purveyors) have been added, leaving 253 on the register at the end
of the year. The number of dairy premises is 315.
Three applications for registration were withdrawn as the
condition of the premises or the nature of the other business
carried on were such as made compliance with the regulations not
possible. All three applications were those of milk purveyors.
Thirty notices were served on dairymen and cowkeepers during
the year for various matters under the provisions of the Dairies',
Cowsheds and Milkshops' Order, and the regulations made thereunder
by the local Authority, all of which were complied with at the
end of the year.
