There are 114 stalls in recognised street markets in the Borough selling
food and these are kept under surveillance by the public health inspectors.
Inspections are also made under the Food Hygiene (Market Stalls and
Delivery Vehicles) Regulations 1966 of the various itinerant food traders, mostly
selling ice cream, in the Borough.
Drainage and plumbing plans are checked by the public health inspectors
with regard to drainage and other aspects of legislation, and this entails consultation
with the Directorate of Civil Engineering and Public Services, owners,
architects, surveyors and builders, and this work has increased particularly in
the conversions of old property.
The drainage and plumbing is checked as the work proceeds and during the
year there were 828 premises in which such work was being carried out.
When buildings are demolished efforts are made to trace and properly seal
off all disused drains.
During the year 251 drains were sealed.
ABATEMENT OF NUISANCES OTHER THAN REPAIR OF DWELLINGS
These nuisances cover a wide range of matters which can affect the environment.
Where owners fail to carry out the necessary works to abate a nuisance the
Public Health Inspectorate arrange for the work to be done in default of the
owner either by private contractors, or by a works order to other Directorates.
