LICENSING OF PET SHOPS
During the year 23 inspections were carried out, 10 by the
Veterinary Inspector and 13 by the Public Health Inspectors.
Five existing licences were renewed at the beginning of the year
and one more issued.
HAIRDRESSERS
Byelaws with respect to the business of hairdressers and
barbers have applied in Hornsey since 1956 and there are 28 establishments
for male hairdressing and 37 establishments for female hairdressing,
which includes 7 establishments catering for both sexes.
All the establishments were inspected during the year and
with the exception of a few minor matters were found to be satisfactory
according to the Byelaws which are designed to secure the
cleanliness of the premises and of the staff and of the customers and
equipment used. The Byelaws require the adequate sterilization of
instruments, combs and hairbrushes and the use of clean protective
covering for customers.
WATER SUPPLY
I am indebted to Dr. E. Windle Taylor, Director of Water
Examination of the Metropolitan Water Board, for the following
information.
The supply for Hornsey area has been satisfactory both in
quantity and quality during the year. The area is supplied from
two main sources:-
(a) River Thames derived water stored in the reservoirs at
Littleton and Staines and treated at the Board's filtration
works at Ashford Common, Kempton Park and Hanworth
Road.
