Piggery, Ham Fields, Richmond.
Four visits were made to this piggery in an effort to contact the owner. On the
final visit, in September, it was discovered that the premises had been burnt by vandals
and were a total loss. I understand it is not the intention to keep pigs on these premises
again.
Poultry Keeper, Oak Avenue, Hampton.
Five visits were made. On the first of these the owner was found to be ill and
on the subsequent four visits the premises were locked and unattended. Further
enquiries will be made regarding these premises as soon as possible.
Kosher Butcher, Richmond.
Two visits — Premises in good condition.
Richmond and Bushy Parks.
Frequent visits were made to Richmond and Bushy Parks. Large numbers of
cattle, deer and sheep were observed grazing in the parks, conditions being very
satisfactory.
Foot and Mouth Disease (Controlled Areas Restrictions) General Order, 1938.
On the 17th November, 1967 the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
declared the whole of England and Wales to be a controlled area (as from 18th
November) under the above Order. This means that the movement of all cloven
hoofed animals must be licensed by the Local Authority. Two such licences were
issued on behalf of your Authority for the movement of 27 and 35 pigs from premises
in Surrey to the Piggery, Harvey Road, Hounslow.
It was noted that disinfectant pads were installed at the entrances to the parks.
These were very well maintained at all times."
