INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF FOOD.
Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops.
In connection with the duties imposed on the Council respecting registration
of milkshops, opportunity is taken before entering the premises or the name of
the applicant on the register to inspect the premises proposed to be used, to
ascertain whether they are suitable for the sale of milk. From time to time it
has been necessary to postpone registration pending the completion of works
found to be required.
At the end of the year 1934, the number of registered dairies and milkshops
in the Borough was 144.
Sixteen entries were made in the register during 1934. Of these, 7 related
to premises registered for the first time, 6 to premises where a change of occupier
had necessitated re-registration, and 3 to wholesale milk premises. Four
premises were removed from the register on closing or demolition.
The Sanitary Inspectors recorded 274 inspections of milk premises. It was
not necessary to serve notice for any breach of the Order or sanitary defect.
