During the summer the owners of Barnet Cattle Market ceased operating it as
such and turned the premises over to use as a Stall Market, opening twice weekly on
Wednesdays and Saturdays.
This raised problems pertaining to the facilities to be provided for stallholders,
viz: sanitary accommodation, water supply, drainage, lighting, etc.
Certain temporary measures were taken by the owners at the request of the Department:
at the close of the year negotiations were proceeding towards making provisions of a
more permanent nature.
The food stalls have been the subject of close surveillance with a view to
securing the individual stall-holders' compliance with matters relating to Pood
Hygiene falling within their immediate province as distinct from the responsibilities
of the market owner.
The individual trades are subject to variation, but on average comprise the
following:-

" 11 Confectioners 1
