There are 981 shops in the Borough and inspections are made
with regard to those provisions of the Shops Act, 1950 which are
concerned with sanitary accommodation, washing facilities, heating,
lighting and ventilation. Where plans are submitted of new construction
or alteration to shop premises, due consideration is
given to ensure that the proposals comply with the provisions of
the statute.
The Public Health Inspectors are also responsible for the
administration of the law relating to shop hours, including early
closing and Sunday trading.
