FOOD HYGIENE REGULATIONS - ISSUE OF CERTIFICATES OF EXEMPTION
During the year the Council issued Exemption Certificates in
respect of 15 kiosks exempting them from the necessity of providing
a piped water supply and wash-hand basin. The goods sold at these
premises were predominantly pre-packed, and because of the special
circumstances, including the restricted accommodation, and the
situation of the premises, the Council considered that it would be
unreasonable to insist on a piped water supply.
PUBLIC HOUSES
There are 146 licensed premises in the Borough, of which
30 serve main meals. During the year 207 inspections were carried
out, special regard being had to the requirements of the Food Hygiene
Regulations. In 19 cases washing facilities were found to be
inadequate and in each case the Brewers agreed to instal additional
facilities in order to comply with the requirements of the Regulations
MILK SUPPLY
Within the Borough at the end of the year there was one dairy
and 132 registered distributors of milk. The Council also approved
registration of a further 29 distributors of milk who sell milk
within the Borough from premises outside. A total of 230 dealers'
licences and 76 supplementary licences were issued under the
provisions of the Milk (Special Designations) Regulations, 1949
authorising the use of the special designations "Pasteurised",
"Tuberculin Tested" and "Sterilised".
