the premises had been refused previously. The defendant
pleaded guilty and was fined £2 with £2 2s. Od. costs.
Fish frying may become unpleasant if the fat used in
the process is unsuitable, if the apparatus is not used
properly, or is not kept thoroughly clean. With
modern frying ranges there is very little excuse for any
emission of odour. This well known odour is described by
different persons in various terms from "very appetising"
to "intolerable" and "sickly," and possibly each one is
correct from his or her point of view.
The fried fish shop at No. 9 Cambridge Road closed
during 1933 and in June 1934 a formal request was made
by the tenant for permission to recommence the business.
The trade had been discontinued for more than six months
and having regard to the proximity of the shop to another
fish shop occupied by the same person, the Corporation
declined to accede to the request.
No complaints were received during the year in respect
of offensive trades.
Forty-eight visits were made to offensive trade premises
during 1934.
