By modern standards it is badly sited, being practically in the centre of the town in an area which is subject to flooding. The buildings are becoming dilapidated and are not designed for present day slaughtering procedure. The lairage, hanging space and storage facilities are inadequate. Welfare facilities for the staff employed are not considered to be up to present day standards. In spite of these disadvantages 100% meat inspection is main¬ tained and the standard of carcase dressing is considered high by the customers. Plans are being prepared for the building of a new abattoir on a suitable site adjacent to the new live stock market near the northern boundary of the Borough. This abattoir will be up to the standard set by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, for licensed slaughterhouses.
