2,289 inspections of food premises were made and 885 repairs and improvements
were carried out.
The film-strip on food hygiene made by the Council in 1954 is still in demand, a
further 12 copies having been sold during the year, bringing the total number of
copies so far sold to 173.
During the year the Clean Food Booklet was again widely distributed amongst
food traders. This booklet gives an account of the principles of food hygiene for all
those concerned with food, but particularly shop keepers, school leavers, restaurant
workers and housewives and those who handle food at home. It also gives information
to food traders regarding the Council's food hygiene lectures and describes the
conditions under which Food Hygiene Certificates are issued. This booklet has been
of considerable assistance in the Clean Food Campaign.
HOUSING ACTS
Clearance Area Programme
The Council's programme which was drawn up in 1956 includes proposals to deal
with approximately 120 premises to which another 31 properties have been added as
a result of more recent inspections. Action in earlier years resulted in the clearance
or compulsory purchase of a large number of these houses but at the end of 1964.
38 premises included in these proposals were still occupied or remained to be dealt
with formally or privately. The following progress was made during the year towards
achieving the Council's objective of ensuring that unfit houses which are not capable
of being rendered fit for human habitation should not again be used for such
purposes:—
1-23 Adelaide Cottages,
Hanwell, W.7.
At the end of the year only eight of these 23 cottages
were still occupied. The Council entered into an agreement
with the owners during 1964 to rehouse the
existing tenants by the autumn of 1965 and very satisfactory
progress towards this end had already been
made in 1964.
