Continuous supervision and inspection of the food supply
of the district was carried out by the Inspectors during the
year. 3,314 inspections of shops and other establishments
were undertaken by the staff and in general conditions were
found to be satisfactory although in five instances breaches
of the Food Hygiene (General) Regulations, 1960, were discovered.
In two instances the necessary works to remedy the
unsatisfactory conditions were carried out, in two instances
the businesses closed down, and in the other instance which
related to exposing food to contamination legal proceedings
were taken and the offender was fined £5 on each of two
summonses, plus £5.5s.0d. costs.
In addition, 64 informal notices and 2 statutory notices
were served under the Food and Drugs Act, 1955; 36 informal
notices were complied with including informal notices served
prior to 1966.
