Tents, Vans and Caravans.— There are five sites in the Borough which have been used as
caravan sites for many years. Some are occupied wholly or in part by persons who use caravans for
business in connection with a travelling circus, fair or stall. During the year, the inspectors made 77o
visits of inspection because of the occupation of land by caravans. Trespass by caravans on unfenced
land was not as frequent as in recent years.
Six applications under the provision of the Middlesex County Council Act, for permission to plate
caravans on sites within the Borough were considered; two were approved for a limited period, and the
others were refused. Action was taken in Court in regard to one offender against the provisions of the
Middlesex County Council Act.
Common Lodging Houses.— There is no common lodging house in the Borough.
