Report of Food Inspector (Mr. IV. Peverctt).
The Public Health (Meat) Regulations came into operation
on 1st April, 1925. During the latter part of the year I visited
the butchers' premises in the Borough, the provision shops having
open fronts where meat is displayed, the butchers' stalls in the
market thoroughfares, and the butchers' stores.
The occupiers in each case were given a copy of the Regulations
and advised to any alterations that were necessary to bring
the premises or stalls into conformity with the Regulations. In
all cases the premises were inspected for their general sanitary
condition, and in most cases the alterations, repairs and cleansing
required has been done or is in hand. It has, however, been
necessary to serve notices for work to be done in a few cases.
