As a result of the Survey carried out in 1949,
the Certificates of Suitability in respect of eleven of
the twelve basement bakehouses granted in 1939 were
renewed for a further five years, one bakehouse having
been destroyed by enemy action.
Of the ten which were given notice to close in
1939, and which were still in operation, one had been so
improved since the original inspection in 1939, that its
condition was such that the issue of a Certificate of
Suitability for five years was justified, the remaining
nine being given notice, dated 28th November, 1949, that
the Certificate of Suitability should cease to have
effect at the expiration of twelve months, i.e. on
28th November, 1950.
In four instances, the owners exercised their
rights of appeal, one of which was lodged after the
expiry of the statutory period of twenty-one days, and
could not be proceeded with, and that part of the
bakehouse covered by the Notice has already been closed.
The other two are still under consideration.
Of the remaining five, one owner has completed
the erection of a non-basement bakehouse over the
existing basement bakehouse, one has transferred his
business to level premises in another part of the Borough,
while three will be required to discontinue use on
28th November, 1950.

MILK & DAIRIES REGULATIONS, 1949
The registration of purveyors of liquid milk is
regulated by the above, and the Register which was revised
during 1949, now contains details of forty-nine dairy
premises in the Borough.
In addition, there are fifty-two shops, the
occupiers of which are registered to sell milk which is
not supplied otherwise than in the properly closed and
unopened receptacles in which it is delivered to their
premises.
During the year 1949, four-hundred and eightyseven
visits of inspection were made to these dairies and
milkshops.
