Hairdressers
Section 21 of the Greater London Council (General Powers) Act 1967 enables the Councils of
London Boroughs to require the registration of persons carrying on businesses as hairdressers or barbers
at premises in the Borough. It was decided by the Haringey Council that the section should come into
force in the Borough on the 1st January, 1968.
Byelaws for the proper management of hairdressers and barbers premises made by the former
Boroughs of Hornsey and Tottenham continue to apply to those parts of Haringey which formerly
constituted those boroughs, but no similar byelaws apply to Wood Green. The Haringey Council
accordingly decided to make new byelaws applicable to the whole Borough and to revoke the Hornsey
and Tottenham byelaws.
