Condition of premises
Absence of supply of hot water and washbasin

Further inspections of the premises in respect of which the Notices

Method of Disposal of Condemned Food
When a shopkeeper in the Borough has any food for condemnation, he
advises the Public Health Inspector who visits the premises, inspects
the food and subsequently issues a Condemnation Certificate.
The food is then collected by a vehicle from the Public Health
Department and taken to either Tottenham or Ashburton Grove for disposal.
