Markets
The markets situate in the borough at Bradmore Lane, Railway
Approach, the south side of Uxbrldge Road, and at Norland Road, have
been visited on 580 occasions by the Inspectors.
The large amount of food sold In these markets (because of competitive
prices) calls for careful and vigilant supervision. It will
be recalled that the stall holders In Bradmore Lane and Norland Road
markets are licenced by the Council, whereas those In Railway Approach
and the South side of Uxbrldge Road are privately controlled. Refuse
Is removed dally from the private markets by a contractor. In the case
of the two street markets controlled by the Council, the Borough Engineer
Is responsible for the cleansing of the thoroughfares. Waste
materials and refuse from the stalls Is removed several times a day.
The number of vacant sites In the borough used by the stallholders
for the sale of foodstuffs Is decreasing.

A Flair Is held on Wornwood Scrubs during the spring and summer
Bank Holiday periods. On these occasions a number of stall-holders
licenced by the London county Council cater for the popular requirements
of holiday crowds with the sale of soft drinks, Ice cream, shellfish

and bacteriological examination.
