Essex County Council Act, 1933, Section 109.
Permission was granted to an applicant to keep a caravan on a
site within the Wanstead area of the Borough.
Pet Animals Act, 1951.
The number of registered keepers of pet shops remained at four.
All were maintained in a satisfactory condition. In two cases only
could the business of dealing in pets be said to be substantial, the
other two selling only the occasional cage-bird.
Rag Flock and Other Filling Materials Act, 1951.
No additional registrations have been made under this Act, the
number of premises registered in the Borough remaining at one.
Petroleum (Consolidation) Act, 1928
The number of licences increased from 58 to 60.
A large children's home which was vacated during the year
discontinued storage of petroleum whilst a firm of building
contractors took out a licence to store petroleum for use in their
vehicles and plant. One petrol station put in new tanks to hold
5,000 gallons and in another case storage was increased by putting
an existing tank back into service.
161 visits were made during the year.
Game Licences
Ten licences to deal in Game were renewed in 1956.
Shops Act, 1950
269 inspections of shops were made in connection with this Act,
an increase on the number for 1955.
Again no difficulty was experienced in the closing hours.
Four applications for certificates of exemption were received
under Section 38 of the Act, the grounds of the applications being
that the provision of sanitary conveniences was not possible because
of restricted accommodation. The Public Health Committee agreed
to certificates being granted in three cases.
Essex County Council Act, 1933
Massage and Special Treatment Establishments
These premises were again visited under the above Act and
Section by the Public Health Inspectors, although registration is in
the hands of the County Council itself. 13 visits were made,
indicating an additional two registrations over the previous year.
All were satisfactory.
