SAFETY.
During the year one complaint was received concerning the
possible toxic effects from a joke box containing "electric
sneezing snuff". The snuff was pushed into a child's face
which produced painful symptoms. In co-operation with the Home
Office the manufacturers undertook to include a warning on the
package.
Whilst most members of the general public are aware of the
dangers arising from inadequate airing of dry cleaned fabrics and
clothing at self-service dry cleaners, it is necessary to keep
this particular hazard before the operators and the users of the
apparatus.
ANIMAL ESTABLISHMENTS.
There are three riding establishments in the Borough which
are licensed under the provisions of the Riding Establishments
Act, 1964 and the Department, in collaboration with the
Veterinary Surgeon appointed by the Corporation carry out the
necessary administrative work.
There are six animal boarding establishments and thirteen
pet animal shops licensed by the Council.
