(i) During the year nearly two thousand infringements were found. Most were of a minor
character and were rectified after explanations and verbal or written cautions had been
given. There remained, however, a minority of recalcitrant occupiers.
The papers on these cases were passed to the Legal Division for consideration as to
whether proceedings should be instituted.
(ii) In the summer of 1967 the Council made an Early Closing Day Exemption Order in respect
of all non-food shops in the Nags Head area. This area is defined in the Order and shown in
the plan on page 47.
Under the Shops Act 1950 the sale of certain foods was already exempted from the half
day closing provisions and this, in conjunction with the Council's Order, means that there
are only a few articles of food which cannot now be sold in the Nags Head area on six days
of the week.
Knowing which articles they could not sell on the half day has been a problem for some
of the larger shops and many explanatory visits have had to be made.
Most of the shops have now re-grouped their stock so that all prohibited articles are
together. On the half day these counters are then covered over to prevent sales.
