FOOD INSPECTION ON SATURDAY NIGHTS
AND SUNDAY MORNINGS.
Food offered for sale is periodically inspected on
Saturday nights and Sunday mornings. Instituted
some three years ago these inspections are still
maintained and carried out by the Chief Sanitary
Inspector, and the assistant Inspectors who take their
turn alternately.
During the twelve months 39 visits were made
on Saturday nights, and 32 on Sunday mornings. The
former require that the whole of the main thoroughfares
where shops or stalls exist should be visited, while on.
Sunday morning South Kilburn is the part of the
District where shops are chiefly open. On no occasion
during these visits was there any necessity to seize any
articles exposed for sale as unfit for food. It frequently
happens that complaint has to be made to the salesman
that the articles are not very fresh. On all such
occasions the proprietors have willingly withdrawn
from sale such articles taken exception to. The vicinity
of this District to the London Markets undoubtedly
safeguards the food supply of Willesden, owing to the
vigilance of the Inspectors of those markets.
