There are some 890 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 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.
