Markets.
In addition to the three markets in the Borough at Bradmore
Lane, Norland Road and Railway Approach, a privately owned
market has been opened adjoining the Market in Railway
Approach, and on the site of the old Silver Cinema, Uxbridge
Road. At the new Uxbridge Road Market, water closet accommodation
and washing facilities have been installed for the use
of the stallholders. Some shops have been built on the site and
where food is sold washing facilities have been provided.
During the year 378 visits were made by the Food and
Drugs Inspectors to these markets.
In the case of one stallholder, legal proceedings were taken
under the Public Health (Meat) Regulations, 1924/1935, and a
fine of 40/- was imposed, with 40/- costs.
Wormwood Scrubs Fair.
Inspectors visited this fair which is held during the three
spring and summer Bank Holiday periods. Stalls selling foodstuffs
and drinks were inspected, and samples were taken for
bacteriological examination and chemical analysis.
Olympia Exhibition Halls.
During exhibitions, visits were made to the numerous food
stands and catering establishments. It was found necessary to
draw the attention of a number of exhibitors to unsatisfactory
washing facilities in connection with food samples served to the
public. In each instance the co-operation of the exhibitors was
obtained and hygiene was improved.
Merchandise Marks Act, 1926.
Regular inspections were carried out under this Act. In
some cases warnings were given by the Food and Drugs Inspector
in connection with the labelling requirements for meat, fruit
and tomatoes. In no case, however, was it necessary to take
legal proceedings.
Ice Cream.
At the end of the year 301 premises were registered for the
sale of ice cream.
The Food and Drugs Inspectors made 433 visits to premises
where ice cream is sold, stored or manufactured.
