FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS
A complete survey of all food establishments was completed
and a detailed list of these premises will be found in the following
table.
Regular inspections were carried out during the year
resulting in the service of 81 written Notices, and 195 verbal
intimations to the persons responsible requiring the execution of
essential work. In no case was it necessary to institute legal
proceedings for non-compliance.
The majority of the eating-houses in the Borough are of the
smaller type owned and conducted by a single individual.. The
business in some has outgrown the facilities available, and the
kitchens and food-preparing rooms are inadequate resulting in a
great deal of congestion.
Constant hot water has been provided in all food shops,
and every effort is and has been made to get a sink or handbasin
installed for the exclusive personal use of those engaged in food
handling, when this is at all practicable. In many instances,
however, lack of space makes this very difficult.
Details of the more important improvements which have
been effected in food premises during the year are given belcw:-
Water heaters installed 100
New sinks provided 47
New W.C's. provided 20
W.C's. repaired or cleansed 17
Kitchens, preparation rooms etc.
