(2) A childrens' paddling pool of 60,000 gallons capacity
is situated within the Belvedere recreation ground at Woolwich
Road, and this is a popular rendezvous during the summer
months.
The pool is regularly emptied and cleansed during the
period it is in use, and methodically dosed with chloros.
A successful model power boat regatta sponsored by a
local model engineering society is held at this site and is
always well attended.
D (5)h Offensive Trades
Other than 10 fish frying establishments, there are no
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.
