After the first examination, the local authority shall either
(a) Certify the bakehouse as suitable for continued use without
prejudice to the local authority's power to revoke the
certificate as a result of further quinquennial examinations
or;
(b) Give at least one month's notice of closure of the bakehouse.
Power of appeal to a Court of Summary Jurisdiction against the notice
that the Certificate of Suitability of a basement bakehouse is to cease
to have effect is given to the occupier, exercisable within twenty-one
days.
Following the examination carried out between 1st July, 1948, and
30th June, 1949, there were in the Borough ten basement bakehouses
which were still in use and which had been certified as suitable for use
as such until 1954.
The statutory quinquennial survey of these ten bakehouses was made
in 1954 and the renewal for a further period of five years of the
Certificates of Suitability which were issued in 1949 and which expired
in 1954, was recommended by the Public Health Committee in nine cases.
In the tenth instance no action was recommended as baking ceased at
these premises on 7th December, 1953, and has not been resumed.
Retail Bakers' Shops.
There are in the Borough eleven bakers' shops without bakehouses
attached. •"
During 1954 59 inspections were made of bakehouses and
bakers' shops.
