HAIRDRESSERS AND BARBERS
In accordance with Section 18 of the L.C.C. (General Powers) Act,
1954, relating to hairdressers and barbers' establishments, five such
premises were registered during the year.
The total premises registered at the end of the year were 74.
STREET TRADING
The stalls in East Street, Westmoreland Road and the surrounding
areas have been the subject of more concentrated inspection; inspections
have been made daily Tuesday to Saturday, and on every Sunday morning
a Public Health Inspector has been on duty in the market. The stall
holders dealing in foodstuffs have again been given extracts from the
regulations so that they might be cognizant of the requirements, and
personal advice has been given to them by the Public Health Inspectors.
There has been a marked improvement and in most cases the Food Hygiene
Regulations are being complied with.
Generally speaking, the regular traders are co-operating satisfactorily,
but some occasional traders are presenting problems.
STREET TRADING BYE-LAWS
The Secretary of State has approved draft bye-laws for both
registered street traders and licensed street traders, which are being
considered by the Works Sub-Committee of the Metropolitan Boroughs'
Joint Committee.
