SUMMARY PROCEEDINGS
It was necessary on one occasion to apply to the Magistrates for an
Abatement Order—this was granted and costs totalling seven guineas
were allowed.
Pursuant to the Food and Drugs Act, action was taken in respect of
five cases following foreign matter being found in foodstuff and in two
cases where assistants were found smoking while handling food.
Fines totalling £75 5s. 0d. were imposed and costs of £34 6s. 0d. were
allowed.
HOUSING
The Clearance Order made during 1966 in respect of Nos. 27, 31 and
33 Sheepcote Road was confirmed by the Minister of Housing and Local
Government on the 27th September. The rehousing of the families from
No. 33 commenced during December and it is hoped that the site will be
cleared during 1968.
