BARBERS AND HAIRDRESSERS
Barbers and Hairdressers premises are registered under
the model Byelaws made by the Council under Section 18, London
County Council (General Powers) Act, 1954.
Nineteen registered premises were visited and in no
instance was it found necessary to serve written notice, such
minor defects as were found being dealt with on the Inspector's
verbal request. The number of premises on the register at the
end of the year was 83.

The Borough's water supply is provided entirely by
the Metropolitan Water Board and has been satisfactory in quality

from public water mains direct to the house. There are no wells
or stand pipes for the supply to dwellings.
