Introduction
The Borough covers an area of 7,115 acres and extends from the south side of the
River Thames to the Crystal Palace. The estimated mid-year population was 290,530. The
majority of commercial premises and a large number of office blocks are concentrated in
the north of the Borough. Substantial redevelopment schemes are either in hand or in the
planning stage.
Registrations and Inspections
Registrations
New registrations were made of 149 premises, 103 fewer than in the previous year
and the total number of premises registered at the end of the year was 3,799. It was
found that in a large proportion of new businesses, particularly shops, the occupier
seemed unaware of his responsibilities under the Act. It may well be that periodical
publicity directed to new businesses would be of advantage. The Public Health Inspectors
are continually on the look out for new premises which may be subject to the provisions
of the Act.
