Labelling of Food Order, 1953
One hundred and seventy premises were visited and 1,312
different articles of food were examined to ensure compliance with
this Order. No infringement of substance was discovered.
Ice Cream Premises
The Ice Cream (Heat Treatment etc.) Regulations, 1947,
control the method by which ice cream should be manufactured.
Only one person makes ice cream within the Borough, and
employs the method known as "complete cold mix" which only
requires the addition of water.
Most of the ice cream sold is manufactured outside the
Borough.
There are 158 premises registered for the sale of ice cream.
Thirty-seven samples were taken during the year.
Coffee Stalls
One old wooden structure was demolished during 1953.
At the end of the year the number of stalls in the district was
two. They have been visited at intervals and action was taken to
secure the provision of a satisfactory water supply, suitable means
of food storage, cleanliness of stalls and utensils and proper means
for the storage and disposal of refuse.
Fish Friers
There were eight premises in the district where the business
of fish frying was carried out.
Game Licences
Twenty applications were received under Section 27 of
the Local Government Act, 1894, from tradesmen in the Borough
for licences to deal in game. A licence was granted in each instance.
Shops Act 1950
Inspection of shops in the Borough has been carried out
and complaints and contraventions dealt with. In one case a
statutory notice was served regarding the provision of a suitable
sanitary convenience. One shop was found to be without sufficient
means of heating and suitable gas heaters were provided by the
occupier without resort to legal action.
