Food Hygiene (General) Regulations, 1960
A reasonably high standard continues to be maintained in the
food premises within the Borough. It was found necessary to serve
notices under the Regulations in a few cases, most of which had been
complied with by the end of the year.
The conditions laid down in the Regulations are being maintained
throughout the district.
There are two dairy premises in the area registered under the
Milk and Dairies Regulations.
Condemned food is destroyed at the Council's Depot at Low Hall
Farm. The only exception to this is where sufficient meat is
condemned and is worth salvaging, and it is then disposed of through
reliable sources, being used mainly for soap manufacture.
