DAIRIES AND MILKSHOPS.
Every dairyman or purveyor of milk must be registered with
the Sanitary Authority of the district in which his dairy premises
are situated; if he retails milk in the district of another Sanitary
Authority he must also be registered with that Authority.
At the end of the year the register showed 50 classed as
dairies and 58 classed as milkshops the principal trade of which
is not dairy produce.
Of these dairies, however, 17 are situated outside and
operate inside the Borough.
The dairies and milkshops have been inspected periodically
and it is pleasing to record that a high standard of cleanliness
has been found to exist.
These inspections have been amplified by the taking of
30 informal samples for bacteriological examination during the
year, seven of which were found to be below the standard. Six
of these, however, were from roundsmen operating from dairy
premises outside the Borough and the Sanitary Authorities in
whose districts these dairy premises were situated and registered
were communicated with, after which an improvement
was found.
There are no cowsheds and there is only one firm actually
pasteurising milk in the Borough.
