MCC , Middlesex County Council x Middlesex County Council

The decision to establish a County Supplies Department was made before the Second World War, but its foundation was delayed until 1947. In 1951 office and warehouse accommodation was obtained in Park Royal close to the transport workshops which came under its control. Turnover and responsibilities increased enormously between 1947 and 1965. Goods of every description were bought for all County services, including education. Service contracts were arranged and 370 vehicles, including cars used for official journeys, were controlled and maintained. In addition to central storage and distribution, a printing unit and a typewriter repair and maintenance service were established and the Central Transport section serviced vehicles and plant.
