The number of public conveniences in Battersea is therefore
one hundred and thirty-one, and these are all kept under the
close and constant supervision of the sanitary staff. It cannot
be said that the number of conveniences is adequate for the
needs of the Borough, as additional accommodation is required
in the Bolingbroke and Broomwood Wards.
Slaughter-houses.
Under the London Government Act, 1899, the duty of
inspecting slaughter-houses, cow-houses and milk-shops was
transferred from the London County Council to the Borough
Councils.
There are now eight slaughter-houses in Battersea, all of
which are frequently inspected. They are generally kept in
a clean condition.
The following is a list of the premises licensed as
slaughter-houses:—
205 St. John's Hill.
109 Bridge Road, West.
163 St. John's Hill.
345 Battersea Park Road.
351 York Road.
235 Battersea Park Road.
49 York Road.
96 Falcon Road.
Cow-houses.
A list of the cow-houses in the Borough is given below:—
14 Belle Vue Road.
122 Usk Road.
17 Wiseton Road.
The cow-houses and slaughter-houses were visited by a
sub-committee of the Health Committee before the annual
licensing meeting, and it was decided not to oppose the renewal
of any of the licenses.
Milk Shops.
Milk purveyors are now registered by the Borough
Councils instead of, as formerly, by the County Council. The
number on the County Council's register when the powers
were transferred was 242. Since that time 59 dealers have
removed and 30 have been registered by the Borough Council,
making a total at the end of the year of 213.
The premises have been systematically inspected, and any
defects found remedied.
