Shops Acts, 1934
Twenty-three inspections and eleven re-inspections were made
during the year in connection with ventilation, temperature and
sanitary conveniences. No legal proceedings were instituted, as
all alterations required were carried out informally. Three exemption
certificates were granted regarding the provision on the
premises of sanitary conveniences owing to restricted accommodation
or other special circumstances affecting the premises.
Swimming Baths and Pools
There are three bathing establishments in the district; one indoors
in Lambeth Road, S.E. 1, belonging to the Borough Council, is
connected with the Baths and Washhouses; another, "open-air,"
situated in Kennington Park, S.E. 11, belongs to the London County
Council, and is fitted with continuous filtration and chlorination
plant ; while the third is an open-air pool, without means of cleansing,
in Brockwell Park, S.W. 2. The work is almost finished of constructing
an open-air bath, with an adequate purification plant, to replace
the old pool in Brockwell Park, which will then be closed for bathing
purposes.
