ESSEX COUNTY COUNCIL ACT, 1933 - PART V
Twenty two licences to carry on Employment Agencies were
issued during the year.
THEATRICAL EMPLOYERS REGISTRATION ACT, 1925 & 1928
One new registration was effected under this Act during the
year. A total of five registrations have now been made in the
Borough, four of these having been made originally with the
Essex County Council. During the year the fee for this registration
increased from £2 to £6.
SCRAP METAL DEALERS ACT, 1964
This Act came into operation on 1st April, 1965 and required
persons carrying on business as scrap metal dealers to be
registered with the Council. Any such entry is automatically
cancelled by the local authority at the end of the period of three
years unless before the end of that period the dealer applies to
the authority for the registration to be continued for a further
period of three years.
Of the 68 registrations made originally 60 have not applied
for re-registration. However, 12 new entries were made in the
register during 1968 and eight renewals effected. A total of 28
entries remained on the register at the end of the year.
LITTER ACT, 1958
Five persons were prosecuted under Section 1 of this Act
during the year for depositing and leaving rubbish in a public
place. Fines totalling £35 were imposed by the magistrates and
costs amounting to 3gns. were awarded to the Council.
It is difficult to understand why people lay themselves
open to prosecution in this regard when the Council will help
residents to get rid of their rubbish. For bulky household items
such as easy chairs, pianos, etc. householders can take advantage
of the Council's scheme and have these items collected and
and disposed of free of charge. Alternatively, private residents
may themselves take refuse to Gerpins Lane Tip, off Aveley Road
where containers are available outside the tip at all times. Old
cars will be collected by the Council at a charge of £2 or they
may be taken, without charge, to Frizlands Lane Depot, Dagenham,
during the hours of 8.0 a.m. to 4.0 p.m. weekdays and
