THE FOOD HYGIENE (MARKET STALLS & DELIVERY VEHICLES)
(REGULATIONS 1966) (As Amended)
A special joint sub-committee comprising members of the Control and
Amenities, Highways and Works and Health Committee, set up by the Council in
1967 to consider the implementation of these complex Regulations reported during
the present year.
This Sub-Committee met on several occasions and took the opportunity of
holding joint meetings with the food traders from all six street markets. In
addition the Committee invited officers of the various traders organisations
including the General Secretary of the National Market Traders Federation.
There is no doubt that these discussions, which took place on a cordial
basis, proved of immense value in ensuring that all street traders handling food
were made fully aware of the requirements of the Council.
In connection with the implementation of Regulations 13 (i) which requires
the display on a food stall of the name and address of the person carrying on the
business it was decided :-
(i) that in the case of food traders not licensed by the Council the full
name and address must be displayed on the stall, and
(ii) that in the case of food traders licensed by the Council the full name
and pitch No. was to be displayed provided the full name and address of
the street trader was filed at the Town Hall.
All food stalls have been re-visited by the Public Health Inspectors and
advice given on the necessary measures required to comply with the Regulations
and, in general, food traders have been keen to co-operate.
