Pet Animals Act, 1951.
Eighteen applications for licences were received and granted during the year. All the
premises were kept under observation.
London County Council (General Powers) Act, 1959.
Caravans.
Section 22 of the above Act forbids the use of land within the Borough as sites for moveable
dwellings unless licensed by the Council.
The Council may also attach to any licence granted under this Section such conditions as
they think fit relating to the number and class of caravans kept on the site, the space between such
dwellings, fire protection, prevention of nuisance from noise, and for securing adequate water
supplies and sanitary conditions.
Two sites for which licences are issued to private individuals house 6 caravans. Three
sites owned by the Greater London Council house 3 caravans and 8 moveable dwellings.
The Children's Nightdresses Regulations, 1964.
These Regulations were made under the provisions of Section 1 of the Consumer Protection
Act, 1961, which came into force on 1st October 1964. From that date no person may sell, or have
in his possession for sale, a child's nightdress not complying with the Regulations, (subject to
certain exceptions).
These Regulations also require nightdresses made from chemically-treated flame-resistant
fabrics to have labels which warn against their being washed with soap. Two nightdresses purchased
and tested were found to be satisfactory.

Licensing Act, 1964.
This Act places on local authorities responsibilities for premises used as clubs and
licensed restaurants. Part II deals with the sale of intoxicating liquor in clubs, which must be
registered with the Clerk to the Justices for the Sessions Area in which the clubs are situated.
Objections to registration may be made by the police or the local authority. Inspections are concerned
mainly with three things - from the local authority's point of view - namely;
Compliance with Food Hygiene Regulations in that part of the premises used for storage
and sale of food; adequacy of sanitary accommodation; and adequacy and efficiency of ventilation.
During the period under review inspections were made of premises for which both renewals
and new applications for registration were made. It was not necessary to recommend objection in
a single case.
