FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS.
Regular inspections were carried out during the year 1951 resulting
in the service of 116 written Notices, and 217 verbal intimations to the
persons responsible requiring the execution of essential work.In no case
was it necessary to institute legal proceedings,a tribute to the success
of the Council's Food Inspectors in obtaining the co—operation of the
traders.
My last report drew attention to the fact that the majority of the
eating—houses in the Borough are of the smaller type owned and conducted
by a single individual. The business in many has outgrown the facilities
available, and the kitchens and food—preparing rooms are inadequate, resulting
in a great deal of congestion. This is re—stated owing to the
relevance of such conditions to standards of food hygiene.
