Food Preparing Premises
There were no new registrations during the year.
The register contained the addresses of 31 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 12
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 was constantly given to traders in foodstuffs
elsewhere than at shops, as often trading was commenced
without registration and with little regard for the hygiene of
food handling. During the year one hawker of foodstuffs
was registered.
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 one renewal licence
was granted.

There was no increase in slaughtering in the district
following the removal of restrictions and in fact two of the
licensed slaughter houses were seldom used.
No. of slaughter-houses licensed 3
No. of slaughtermen licensed 11
Knackers Yard
There was one licensed knackers yard, but its use was
limited.
New byelaws with regard to knackers yards were adopted
by the Council during the year.
