Inspection of Meat and Food
The inspection of food and premises where food is prepared
has received special attention.
Five new registrations of hawkers were granted during the
year. Before registration is granted the Council insist upon
satisfactory storage accommodation being provided and this is
checked up where necessary with the Local Authority concerned.
Following such an investigation, one application for registration
was refused.
The number of barrow boys operating in the district is now
only 5.
One thousand and sixty-four visits were made to various food
premises and improvements have been carried out in a number
of cases.
