local model engineering society is held at this site.
D (5)h Offensive Trades
Other than 11 fish frying establishments, there are no
other scheduled offensive trades under Section 107 of the
Public Health Act 1936 in the Borough. Fish frying was
declared to be an offensive trade on 17th March, 1939, and
bye-laws were made accordingly.
All the fish frying businesses are well conducted and the
frying apparatus at each is of modern and approved pattern.
D (5)i Rag Flock and Other Filling Materials Act 1951
This Act is designed to secure that clean filling
materials are used in the upholstery trade, and applies to
manufacturers' and dealers' premises. Whilst there are no
manufacturers in the Borough, two premises exist where
filling materials are utilised, and which accordingly are
registered with the Local Authority. Apart from the incumbent
duties of licensing and registration, the Act provides
for inspection, and the sampling of rag flock.
