CAMPING SITES.
The Boy Scouts' camping site at Featherbed Lane continues
to be used, and is conducted in a very satisfactory manner.
Tents and caravans are not a serious problem in the
District, but constant supervision is necessary to prevent undesirable
conditions arising through uncontrolled development.
SWIMMING BATHS.
There are two swimming baths in the District which are
used by the general public, and during the year 9 samples of
the water were obtained for examination.
One chemical sample was reported as being unsatisfactory,
probably due to faults in the system of filtration. The matter
was under consideration at the end of the year.
SHOPS AND OFFICES.
As far as possible inspections have been made of the
sanitary accommodation, washing facilities, heating and ventilation
of shops and offices, and improvements have been effected
as circumstances have permitted. Further reference is made
to food premises later in this Report.
