Free Washing 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.
Traders are becoming more aware of these facilities and there was a considerable increase in number of persons taking advantage of them during the current year.
