cease to have effect after the expiration of such period, being not less than
one month, as may be specified in the notice, and the basement bakehouse must
not be used as a bakehouse after the expiration of that period.
If the Council are satisfied that the bakehouse is suitable as regards
the matters aforesaid, they must give notice in writing that the certificate
shall continue to operate so long as the bakehouse may otherwise lawfully be
used, but without prejudice to the power of the Council to revoke the certificate
as the result of a subsequent examination under this sub-section. The
occupier may appeal to a Court of Summary Jurisdiction against the decision of
the local authority to terminate the certificate and may further appeal to the
Quarter Sessions.
On the 1st January, 16 basement bakehouses remained in use, but the use
of one bakehouse was later discontinued. Following the quinquennial examination
of the remaining bakehouses, which was carried out in September, the
occupiers of thirteen were given notice that the certificates of suitability
issued in respect of their bakehouses would continue to operate, and one
occupier was given notice that the certificate of suitability would cease to
have effect from 30th November, 1953. The following fourteen basement bakehouses
were in operation at the 31st December:-
239 Amhurst Road 200 Lower Clapton Road
36 Chatsworth Road 106 Oldhill Street
94 Chatsworth Road 33 Rectory Road
72 Dalston Lane 174 Southgate Road
178 Dalston Lane 18 Upper Clapton Road
167 Homerton High Street 186 Well Street
71 Lower Clapton Road 81 Wilton Way,
The certificate of suitability granted in respect of one basement bakehouse
still in use at the end of the year had ceased to have effect, but the
Council has from time to time extended the period of occupation to enable the
occupier to find suitable alternative premises. Due regard was given to the
circumstances relating to this case when the report on the quinquennial examination
was under consideration, and the Public Health Committee decided to
give the occupier a further and final extension of the period of occupation.
The number of inspections of basement bakehouses totalled 78.
Unhygienic conditions were found to exist in one of the bakehouses and
legal proceedings were successfully taken under Section 13 of the Food and
Drugs Act, 1938.
