The bakehouses have been visited by the Public Health Inspectors and steps have
been taken to cause them to be maintained in a proper sanitary condition. The
periodical cleansing of these premises, as required by statute, has generally been carried
out.
Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops
At the beginning of the year there were 7 dairies in the district registered under
the Milk and Dairies (General) Regulations, 1959. One dairy closed during the year.
All premises were inspected from time to time.
The Milk (Special Designation) Regulations, 1960, came into operation on
1st January, 1961, in so far as they relate to dealers' licences and provide, inter alia,
that dealers' licences will be granted by the food and drugs authority and the period
for which these licences will be granted is extended from one year to five years. Dealers'
licences now permit sales outside as well as inside the area of the licensing authority and
supplementary licences are discontinued.
Ice Cream Premises
The Ice Cream (Heat Treatment, etc.) Regulations, 1959, control the method by
which ice cream should be manufactured.
Most of the ice cream sold is manufactured outside the Borough.
There were 155 premises registered for the sale of ice cream.
Fish Friers
At the end of 1962 there were eight premises in the district where the business
of fish frying is carried out.
Game Licences
Fourteen 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.
Display of Dog Notices in Food Shops
Notices for exhibition have been supplied to all food shops in the district, pointing
out that the presence of dogs is a danger to the health of the public.
School Kitchens
A number of visits were made by the Public Health Inspectors to school kitchens
and the staffs are to be commended on the high standard of cleanliness which has been
maintained.
