The average cubic capacity available for each person
is 154 c. ft.
There are no regulations applicable to vans in this
Borough on the question of overcrowding, and it is therefore
difficult to deal with them from this point of view.
These are under constant supervision.
In Britannia Yard, off Wharf Road, there is one large
caravan in which two adults sleep. A large wooden shed
is used as a kitchen. No nuisance has been observed at
the time of inspection.
In the Car Park opposite the White City Stadium there
is always one large caravan occupied by two adults. Other
vans park on this ground from time to time usually for
short periods only. No nuisance has been observed at the
time of inspection.
LONDON COUNTY COUNCIL (GENERAL
POWERS) ACT, 1928.
Ice Cream Vendors.—Section 29 requires all premises
used for sale, storage or manufacture of ice cream, to be
registered with the Sanitary Authority, and imposes
penalties for use of any premises without being so registered.
Premises which are required to be registered under
Factory and Workshop Acts and premises used as a hotel,
restaurant or club are exempt.
The Act gives no power to the Sanitary Authority to
refuse to register or to remove any premises from the
register.
Proceedings must be taken under the London County
Council (General Powers) Act, 1902, for breach of special
regulations.
