Golden Square, (ii) Stamford Place, and (iii) Golden Yard. The
premises concerned were as follows:—
1, 2, and 3, Money's Cottages, Silver Street.
1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, Silver Street.
4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, Golden Square.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, Stamford Place.
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, Golden Yard.
These, and other areas in the Town Ward, have been under
consideration by the Council for upwards of twenty years and various
suggestions have been made for dealing with them, but up to the
present no acceptable solution has been found and the matter was in
abeyance. Careful consideration was given to the complaint of the four
local government electors, and the Housing Committee at their meeting
in December, 1927, decided to take no action at present with regard to
the properties in Stamford Place and Golden Yard, but as regards the
properties affected in Silver Street and Golden Square, recommended
that the Ministry of Health be asked to send a representative to
inspect these properties and to advise the Council as to the possibility
of dealing with them under a reconstruction scheme.
Section 5.
Inspection and Supervision of Food.
Milk Supply.
Milk and Dairies Order, 1926.
There has been no Cowhouse in the Borough for many years; all
the milk is brought into the district from outside the Country.
The Food Inspector supervises the dairies and milkshops. A
reference to the sampling of the milk supply will be found in that part
of the report dealing with the Sale of Food and Drugs Acts.
Registration of Dairymen and Dairy Premises.
Section 6 of the Milk and Dairies Order, 1926, made by the Ministry
of Health in pursuance of Section 1 of the Milk and Dairies (Consolidation)
Act, 1915, requires the Borough Council to keep Registers of
dairymen and dairy premises; while Section 2 (1) of the Milk and
Dairies (Amendment) Act, 1922, gives the Council power to refuse
registration of, or remove from the register, retailers of milk ; and
requires that two registers of milk dealers be kept, one of wholesalers
and one retailers.
