Inspection of Refreshment and Coffee Stalls
Evening inspections of refreshment and coffee stalls were carried out by Public Health
Inspectors as found necessary. No complaints relative to such stalls were received during
the year, and the conditions found to exist at the time of the Inspectors' visits were
generally satisfactory.
Free lashing Facilities In Public Conveniences
The Council continued to provide free washing facilities in public conveniences in
order to encourage cleanliness amongst food handlers and, particularly, street traders who
have no convenient personal facilities.

Table: The following table given through the courtesy of the Cleansing Superintendent provides details of the weekly average number of persons who availed themselves of the Council's facilities. Traders are becoming more aware of these facilities, the number of persons taking advantage of them being on the increase.
