At the end of the year there were 29 premises which
had been registered under the Act for the preservation, etc.,
of food as follows:—
Premises used for the manufacture of sausages,
pies, etc 11
Premises used for the cooking of fish 9
Premises used for the cooking of bacon 9
Hawkers of Foodstuffs
Under the provisions of Section 11 of the Middlesex
County Council Act, 1950, persons selling foodstuffs from
any vehicle, etc., who are not the occupiers of an open shop
for the sale of foodstuffs require to be registered with the
local authority and the foodstores at which the foodstuffs
intended for sale are stored are also required to be registered.
Attention is constantly given to traders in foodstuffs
elsewhere than at shops with a view to enforcement of the
above-mentioned Section and it is found that many of the
businesses set up by these people are comparatively shortlived
so that new hawkers of foodstuffs are constantly being
registered and at the same time previously registered hawkers
discontinue their businesses. During the year five hawkers
of foodstuffs were registered and a further application for
registration was refused.
Street Traders
Persons wishing to trade from a fixed site in any public
street are required to hold a licence under Sections 320 and
321 of the Middlesex County Council Act, 1944 and issued
by the local authority. During the year two such licences
were granted.
